The paper analyzes philosophical ontology, one of the most important directions of heterology, claiming the absence of a single basis of being, world, human, and philosophy. One of the modi of baseless philosophy is considering the image of a human as a baseless phenomenon. We suggested an inverse optics for consideration of the problem and put forward the thesis that baseless logic, as well as understanding of the human image as an expression of baselessness, is a consequence of the process of fragmentation of the human idea in philosophy due to the oblivion and disregard of the social essence of a human and the reduction of ideas about them to the phenomenon of “naked life”. The study is relevant, because it is necessary to develop an adequate attitude of the society to all risks of creating a baseless human image, which is perceived as the object of biopolitical views and corresponding practices (manipulations), as a simple biological resource. A number of arguments were provided in favor of the dependence of the philosophical image of a human on the social and historical reality, which is shown not only as unitary, but also as plural, polyphonic. This reality, accordingly, generates multiple images of cultural heroes, which (images) are reflected by different philosophical systems. The modern (contemporary) processes of proletarization and development of “proletarskost” as a form of fragmentation of an individual turning it from the social atom into something unclear with a lack of quality were given as an illustration for detection of real bases of the baseless image of a human. A human becomes the simplest and elementary form of the social matter with no essential social specificity. In this context, the very principle of humanity is questioned, and any form of living and nonliving is perceived as a social one.
