Abstract: The author describes the two lines of researching a myth, - the interpreting poetic study and the socio-psychological one. As a part of the first line, the author describes the three approaches which were formed during the Ancient Times and have been lived through all this time up to the present. It is shown that all these three approaches have the same drawback: they are basically interpretative which is completely inadmissible when studying a myth. The certain advantage of the second line of research (which covers a number of approaches, too) is an attempt to interpret a myth based on the pattern of the mythological perception of the world (even if it seems absurd from the point of view of a modern European) and try to understand which role such perceptions played in the primitive society and which psychological and social functions a myth performed.

Abstract: The author of the article believes that a creative insight represents certain qualities of a person who creates an artwork. In order to prove it the author tries to show that the means of expression themselves reflect personality of an artist who uses these means to realize his creative quest and to achieve a cognitive, artistic and spiritual insight. The author analyzes the fundamental concepts which are directly related to the study of the thinking activity, in particular, such terms as ‘information’ and ‘idea’. Based on the author, the term ‘information’ better describes the processes of the ready or ‘ frozen’ knowledge while the term ‘idea’ more adequately renders the dynamics of finding and creating something new.

Keywords: psychology, creative work, genius, creativity, idea, information, corporeity, mentality, insight.
