• Resumen

  • The concept of humanization of myth which we have developed represents an experience of a systematic scientific conceptualization of the eponymous phenomenon initially revealed by Thomas Mann. The concept is based on the thesis stating that one of the main functions of the mythological consciousness is the ethicizing harmonization of the Universe (image of the world). The main structural elements of the concept include the totem-life / non-totem-death dichotomy, the myth of laughter, the myth of the abolition of non-totem-death, the evolution of the most ancient mythological consciousness, and a number of the most ancient mythologems. The polydisciplinary nature of the concept, its tools and areas of its application is not accidental, since it explores one of the basic intentions of man. The possibilities of revealing new senses provided by the concept include the development of the fundamentals of the theory of laughter, the concepts of the “new humanism in the 21st century” (UNESCO), “megamodem”, etc.
