Formation of the concept «difference» in early works of R. Musil

«Other condition» is a utopia of opposites of rational and irrational. The idea of «otherness», which is the basis of the whole creation of Musil took shape in a holistic concept of knowledge and search. The way of the formation of the concept in early diaries, the first novel and the novel of the early creation are described in this article. The general field of the concept of semantic, which extends to early works of Musil, formalizes differently and gets additional meanings inside of the separate creation. In early creation of R. Musil we can distinguish three phases of the formation of the concept. In diaries it’s the formulation of the idea of the otherness: the possibility of an irrational experience; in novel «The confusions of young Torless» it is the statement and the solving of the problem of word search and linguistic expression of the concept; and finally it’s the conceptualization of the idea in the novel « The Perfecting of a Love». In novel «The confusions of young Torless» semantic aspects of the concept are actual: 1) exceptionality of the hero, who is different in relation to other; 2) the evolution of the character that is «different» in relation to yourself; 3) «different», that is contraposed.
