MYTHOLOGEME OF THE PICTURE OF SOCIO-HISTORICAL REALITY IN THE PARADIGM OF N. HARTMAN'S ONTOLOGICAL EPISTEMOLOGY
The article actualizes the issues related to determining the status of historical knowledge in the paradigm of rational culture. History, involved by a person in the process of organizing a picture of reality, is endowed with other qualities than it has objectively. The mythologeme that arises as a result of the synthesis of the known and the assumed becomes one of the attributes of historical knowledge, the function of which is to combine the images of the past with the cultural paradigm of the present. Mythologeme is defined not as an arbitrary reaction of the subject, caused by an excess of his imagination, but as a consequence of the processes of adaptation of historical information to the corresponding type of culture.
