The aim of this study is dealing this thesis on a alternative view of our social surroundings becoming stagnant as times go by and our scientific environment supporting it. The main cause is disappearance of conversation(story) resulting from deficiency of imagination. In the evolution of mankind, Homo sapiens first named as “wise man” can also be called authors of many stories remained in the form of falktale, fable, fairy-tale and legend of which we can’t discern authorship. Early humans must have understood wisdom not as a simple craft of making stone axe, but as an imagination about it which means making up story of it. The momentum of humankind getting out of the state of animal can be described as having the consciousness of principle of indirectness. A baby’s animal-like cry can be acted as the direct cause of making a story, indirectness of non-animal. The wisdom of making a story like this can be accomplished by invoking an imagination which can be named as archetypal cogitation. After all, stories are the traces of archetypal cogitation, which alleviate an unsolvable deficient situation in reality by imagination. We can call the author of a story as Homo-Sapience. Stories can be divided into the early story(lie), myth and philosophy. In this thesis, genealogical meaning of these stories will be focused on , in addition to that of categorization of them.
I want to add a decisive word to Homo-series which regulate the definition or the essence of humankind until now. That is Homo-mythologicus. Mankind has existed as Homo-mythologicus and his descendants, at the same time. Tools and language, the traditional classifications of dividing human from animal, or civilization from savage should be changed into mythologia. Stories made by mankind can be evolved into the early story(lie), myth and philosophy in chronological sequence. Of course, this category can’t be unanimously agreed , but it has universal validity, to some extent, in the relation with the structural imagination of mankind. These three categories of stories have forms of discourses, reflecting particular living structure of each state symbolically. |
