philosophy could not occur by itself.Its emergence as a science was preceded by other forms of human consciousness that existed previously.Wherein the step of domination of other species and forms that share a common name of "Mythology" takes a longer historical period because of the fact that it is rooted in the depth of human history.
philosophy and mythology are parts of a whole, because the first one was formed on the basis of experience gained second.
fact that mythological consciousness - is the most ancient form of consciousness itself.It is this kind of historical form combines the collection of legends.They put their time were the foundation of all human consciousness.
myth - is the main structural element of this form of perception of life.Philosophy and mythology have the same root, which is an ancient legend, the essence of which is no less real than many theories in science.The fact that all the myths - an implementation of behavioral logic, not a priori reasoning.However, because they - the basis of life that existed thousands of years ago, between the modern scientific approaches and historical past, there are significant differences.
So, the first difference of philosophy from mythology is that consciousness which is the basis of the second form is not theoretical, and developed on the basis of practical ideas for generations, their experience and perception of the world.All the basic structural units are inseparable and constitute a single system.Moreover, we note that the interweaving these concepts in the following scientific theories will take opposite positions (such as fantasy and reality, the thing and the word creation and its name).
philosophy and mythology differ from each other because there is no contradiction in the myth, while the opinions of philosophers in all the central place it occupies positioning phenomena.
In addition, there is the concept of the full genetic relationship of all creatures on earth, although in the future such a perception would be regarded as an opinion that has no logic and sense.
Note that philosophy is alien to all the sacred and holy.Judgments are based on assumptions that are more or less real basis.But in the mythology of all life must be on the postulates that were left by the ancestors.This consciousness is alien feeling of the passage of time, as evidenced by a division of the history of life on earth into two periods: the era of the "golden age" (people at this time were perfect) and "profane" era (completely corrupted the morals).
Myth - a sign system that is based on the weak development of abstract forms, metaphor and emotion.However, philosophy and mythology associated just with these concepts, because this perception of the human being and the world can not disappear as a result of historical development.The fact that the theory becomes a necessary attribute of human life when there is a feeling of dissatisfaction with the experience and desire to comprehend a world without attracting practical bases.The philosophy is based on an idea that does not take roots in the traditions and legends.She cites in support of his theories faith and proof.
So, philosophy and mythology, the similarities and differences that do exist, however, operate simultaneously and inseparably.Both historical trends based on the so-called surprise, which gives rise to further knowledge.It turns out that mythology carries a surprisingly self-sufficient, which only need to take.But at this stage of philosophy after the start time of learning and search for evidence of a particular concept.
In general, philosophy is a streamlined form of mythology.
