Abstract

The article concerns the problem of mythological components of personal life experience, in particular the significance of myth in process of forming strategies for self-determination and self-organization of personality in context of life-building practices. The concept is based on the author's thesis that in the course of self-designing the condition for generation of new meanings are empirical generalizations of the individual experience of personality as well as “ready” socio-cultural By summarizing of concepts by D.A. Leontiev, A.M. Lobok, A.S. Sharov the author presents her understanding of the mechanism of mythological meaning-building. An attempt to «smooth out» the contradictions in categorical opposition «actual being-in-the-world» versus myth is made. Interdependence of these categories of experience in the process of personality’s self-organization is explained. The importance of myth as a factor for the formation of personal design is discussed. The role of myth as a «meaning-carrying reality» in the process of self-designing is emphasized. The author analyzes the meaning-building function of myth. Understanding of meaning as a probabilistic construct of personal myth is substantiated. The author describes the resources of myth as a large-scale context for «actual being-in-the-world»: fixation on a broad perspective leads to understanding the possibilities scope of a personality and his life horizon.
