Christian Mythology and Philosophy of Mind

Myth, the Christian one, is a means of self-creation of man.Does it work in a scientifi c worldview?To answer this question, the author substantiates the possibility of interpreting and rethinking some of the essential mythologems of Christianity.He proposes to consider them in the light of the modern philosophy of consciousness.According to this philosophy, a person cognizes the world being inside it.Thus, he is ontologically rooted in it.Therefore, our world contains certain conditions for its cognition, which themselves have no conditions.Their existence is evidenced only by their effects; they appear simply as a supernatural reality.Without the concept of the supernatural, there can be no adequate understanding of the phenomenon of "man", since his being is not limited to its natural side.Religion in the modern world is supposed to have a renewed mythology.However, there is a problem.The traditional Christian mythology emerged spontaneously.The mythology of our time cannot but have an artifi cial origin.It must be rationally understood as mythology.
