| Annotation | The article deals with the specifics of the formation of the concept of being in the early Greek philosophy. A comparison of rational and myth-religious components in investigated stage of history of philosophy. Mythological and religious components implicitly exist in philosophical constructs of the early Greek philosophers. The myth is a poetic person’s susceptibility to the original secret, that beyond expression. The mystery image reveals the special cognitive relation to being and through the practice of using mythological, religious and philosophical definitions of the categories, the knowing subject tends to touch the truth. Mythological reflection of reality is characterized by the figurative symbolic opposition. In philosophical worldview are binary oppositions. In natural philosophy of Milesian school there is an idea of one living universe substantial basis which relies Substrate first principle or unlimited Apeiron. Eleatics thoughts are pure being, correlating with the laws of thought; Pythagoras and Heraclitus at the heart of true being seen ordering the law in the form of numerical proportions, a universal Logos. Arguing with religious beliefs, in ancient philosophical tradition the idea of God as a universal rational principle appears. Absolut is inseparable from the eternal uncreated space (Ksenofant). The article shows how the definition implicitly inherent myth-religious perception of reality, manifested in philosophical discourse, they get a rational interpretation. |
