EXISTENCE OF «THING» IN MYTH: PHILOSOPHICAL OBJECT-ENERGETIC ASPECT (ON THE EXAMPLE OF ARKAIM CULTURE)

This article is devoted to the problematics of thing’s being in mythological model of the world of the Indo-Iranian culture of the prototown Arkaim. The problem is considered through a prism of dialectics of myth by A.F. Losev, treating energinity as a phenomenon of existence of deep meanings of life in symbols and names, where a thing first becomes a symbol, and then an idea, which turns into a myth. This problematics is considered within philosophical researches of V.N. Toporov in the field of phenomenology, semiotics and comparativeness. It allowed building of communicative сonnections within the Arkaim's culture on the example of the real world, drawing parallels between Arkaim's artifacts and Aryan's Rigveda. The real world is considered within A.B. Nevelev's conception of regularity of the inverse relation between the substantive and energetic parts of a person's life (the less is object definiteness of a person's life, the more is its energetic saturation). Thus, the interrelation of world outlook and the real world of Arkaim's culture, where a «thing» is a unity of the ideal and spiritual, symbolical and material contents, are discovered.
