The logical contrariety and disorder semantic moments of the concept “everyday life”, which should include different levels, sections, horizontal and vertical coordinates of reality, are substantiated. It is found that the opposition of everyday life as a common routine side of life to the holiday, as to the event which is going beyond everyday life, is not absolutely correctly. It is stated that it is illegal to consider everyday life without a set of oppositions: holiday, ritual, game, death, etc., which do not oppose each other, but correlate and supplement.
