AbstractThe article attempts to show that it is not necessary to idealize a society in which the state of abundance of material goods is achieved through the automation and robotization of production. This situation will confront a person with an ambiguous choice between an attempt at creative self-realization and idleness. At the same time, the key problem is that creativity is not only an activity in which a person most fully realizes his essential forces, but also the cause of new forms of alienation. Already the authors of personalist philosophy have pointed out that a creative person always risks plunging into egoism or, on the contrary, “losing himself”, taking the lead of the masses. Any harmonious dialogue of personalities runs the risk of being reborn into something negative, asymmetric. The author introduces the concept of “alienation of creativity”. According to the author, a creative person is usually alienated from the one who determines the social need for his work, from the very object of creativity and from his own creative forces. All this may be one of the reasons why creative people are more prone to various kinds of mental disorders than the general population. It is concluded that the next social formation (in which, as expected, free creativity will replace the relationship of wage labor) will be no less, but more contradictory, than the capitalist one. It is suggested that in a post-capitalist society, the state will be charged with the obligation to overcome the alienation of creativity. It will also play an important role in resolving social conflicts, to which the specificity of “mass self-realization” may lead.
