Abstract

This article analyzes one of the myth conceptualization traditions in Russian humanitarian thought – within the framework of Vyacheslav Ivanov's symbolism, Alexei Losev's dialectical philosophy, which is inherited by him, as well as the modern reception of Ivanov's and Losev's approaches in the linguophilosophy of Lyudmila Gogotishvili. It is shown that the linguistic dimension of myth, according to Ivanov, implies a posteriori (in relation to mystical experience) character of its own formation. The linguistic dimension of myth, according to Losev, implies its a priori givenness, epistemologically limited for a particular consciousness by sense bearing detachment. It is shown that the a posteriori givenness of myth, according to Ivanov, and the detachment of myth, according to Losev, ensure the "indirectness" of the meaning expression (or mystical reality) in language, which can be overcome by an intentional understanding of the meaning implied by language, i.e. by personal action. It is revealed that Gogotishvili in her philosophical constructions relied on both Losev's and Ivanov's approaches, believing the concept of myth as one of the basic categories of all Russian symbolism. From the perspective of Gogotishvili's work, we consider the distinction between mythological and ordinary judgments, the relationship between myth and linguistic reference in poetic and logical perspectives, as well as the nature of the application of the myth concept in the phenomenology of language and in the author's concept of binary and ternary symbols.
