Archetypes of culture. Search for the central archetype. Monograph

The monograph reveals the content of the concept of the "archetype of culture". Various classifications of archetypes are considered, including the classic approaches of K.G. Yung and post -Yungians, as well as still little -known theories of Western, Russian and Eastern philosophy. The key issue of work is the search for methodological approaches for the study of archetypes. The book discusses in detail myths and fairy tales as sources of archetypes. The author also examines the method of introspection and his capabilities within the framework of existing scientific paradigms.
This book will be useful to everyone who is interested in the theory of archetypes or explores national cultures, the philosophy of the Russian people. The author proposes the theory of the dynamic nature of archetypes. At the same time, the deployment of an archetype in the life of both an individual and the people has its own patterns and features. In this regard, the second part of the monograph proposes an analysis of the archetypes of Russian culture, where the emphasis is on the consideration of the hero’s archetype as the central archetype of culture
