Kosolupenko, D. P. The rule of the «everything is possible»: the mythopoetical apprehension of the world in the contemporary society.

Abstract: A “transitory period” or a “breaking period” – they often talk about the modern time in these words. Just this period is marked of the rising interest to the myth and of the enlargement of the mythopoetical characters in the apprehension of the world. The mythopoetical apprehension of the world has some special characters that gave it a chance to appear in the different cultures and also to predominate in those of them that have inconstant, standing or transitory type. The nature of a myth as a “everything is possible” Principe begins to be most important in the periods of the standing or breaking social and cultural systems because mythopoetical apprehension of the world depends on an “acting person” who co-exist in it with others “acting persons”. So a mythopoetic became a remedy of a “possible madness” in the situation of the social instability and is a “creating stimuli» thanks to that we can built new social systems coming out of the “everything is possible” Principe. The mythopoetical probability and variations on that bases a mythopoetical methodology and a mythopoetical apprehension of the world ties with an inconstant socio-cultural situation.
