Chaos, order, time in ancient pictures of the world

Autors: 
Poizner Boris Nikolaevich, National Research Tomsk State University
Abstract: 

The national images of chaos, order and time in myths (26 age B.C. — 13 age A.D.) are described. Their important interpretations are systematized, their relation with rituals and modern culture self-consciousness is discussed. The author advances the conception such as « time of chaos» and «Russian Chaos» (i.e. a sphere of artistic realizations of philosophical category of chaos).
