In the article the conceptual problems of philosophical and psychological study of aggression as a holistic phenomenon of human existence and justified dualistic nature of aggression. Based on the ambivalence meaning in human existence aggression, ambivalence, which is caused by anthropo-ontologically, defines the basic meanings of the dualistic nature of aggression.

А standard image of aggression is that of an animal in the wild trying to take over some other animal’s territory or attacking it to eat it. In human contexts, aggression often invokes anger, uncontrolled range, and belligerence. However, this negative concept, when it is specifically connected to males qua males or to workers in certain professions (sales, management, law, philosophy, politics) often takes on positive associations. In a civilized society, physical aggression is likely to land one in a jail or a mental institution. But males and workers in certain professions are not required to physically attack or eat their customers and coworkers to be considered aggressive. In these contexts, aggression is thought to be related to more positive concepts such as power, activity, ambition, authority, competence, and effectiveness – concepts that are related to success in these professions. And exhibition of these positive concepts is considered evidence that one is, or has been, aggressive.

It is outlined complementary the lines of meaning and characteristics of concept «aggression», highlighting the problem human destructiveness.

Due to the eccentricity of the human condition in the world «I» always split: it is fighting two major, necessary but oppositely directed forces – positive, constructive, and that creates and negative, destructive, which generating fundamental irresolvable conflict, causing enormous variety and complexity of human behavior, positivity and negativity is determined advantage of one of the forces.

As for the prospects of philosophical and anthropological studies of aggression, we associate with heuristic potential «Anthropology limits», which provides opportunities to avoid the one-dimensional perception of aggression as an exceptional manifestation of human destructiveness, and in its relationship with transgression, human capacity for transcendence.
