Abstract

The “lifeworld” can be considered as the ontological basis of myth-making activity of consciousness. The deep basis of ordinary consciousness is myth-making, based on the unity of the image (perception and representation) and meaning (values, beliefs, etc.). The ordinary consciousness should not be seen as an exclusively conservative force. Thanks to the mythological basis, it has rich creative possibilities. Ordinary consciousness is capable of producing visually sensual imagery, the proliferation of uninterpreted images, metaphorization, the establishment of associative connections between visual images, etc. We should expect the increasing role of folklore in the system of ordinary consciousness.
