Kozolupenko, D. P. Causality and Collective Memory in Mythological and Analytical Types
of Perception of the World
Abstract:
The type of causality and the type of collective memory dominating in a society complete each
other because they keep order (collective memory, in particular, based on a ritual and archetype – in mythology,
causality principles and the idea of a regular pattern of phenomena – in analytics) and enable
natural changeability at the same time (consequently, mythological principles of causality and analytical
collective memory, i. e. writing. In a more general case, they ensure psychological adaptation of human to all
kinds of situations, both stable and instable ones. Consciousness and unconsciousness play a compensating
role here: if the concept of causality is based on the concept of order (as it is in analytics) than the collective
memory assumes fixation of exclusions and demand further development of writing. However, if the concept
of causality is related to the concept of exclusivity (which is typical for mythology) , then the collective
memory, on the contrary, shall assume fixation of the homogenous elements (time cycles, organization in
space, types and archetypes of behavior and etc.) and be based on verbal tradition.
Keywords:
philosophy, principle, causality, memory, complementarity, letter, mythology, analytics, dominating, perception of the world.
