Abstract

The constitutive features of everyday life are analyzed. The author The author identifies the following features of everyday occurrence as the mythological and practical installation, epohe, which is understood as a specific attitude towards everyday life, a specific understanding of the fullness of time and the human involvement in the unity of its manifestations into activities and into living of life. The historicity of myth and mythical in the everyday life is shown. Since the second half of the twentieth century, the problem of everyday life and its rehabilitation appears in the human studies as a kind of trend research and becomes one of the themes of philosophizing. The daily occurence has attracted attention of researchers, from the Husserl’s concept of «life­world» and Shchutz’s articles. At the same time we see the processes of remythologization in the modern society, so that myth remains to be one of the most importantforms social consciousness in the structures of modern mentality so that some researchers call and analyze culture XX ­XXI century as «a new archaic» At the same time the studies of myth as a form of social consciousness, almost did not correlate with the studies of daily occurence. The paper analyzes the properties of mytho­practical attitude, compared with the properties of mythical in the modern everyday worldview. It is shown that archaic personification of teachers and guardians of traditions disappears. The modern «knowledge of the myth» does not communicate with the personal biographical situation, but with the existing mosaic picture of the world of the individual, often consisting of typization and related to completely different traditions. Conclusions about the historicity of the main features of everyday life are done. The type of mythologizationg, consisting in rituals, which help the world to remain unchanged, in the modern world disappears. Tense attitude towards life is saved periodically weakened throughout history. A clear distinction between personal and external time erased, approaching to the archaic understanding of everyday time, but mythologization of time is not realized, syncretism of tradition and adventure goes and the typization grows.
