GUL BAYRAM, Atraba. Mythical perception of nature and the function of symbols: principles of mythical logic and ways of formation of natural symbols. Universidad y Sociedad [online]. 2022, vol.14, n.1, pp. 446-454.  Epub 10-Feb-2022. ISSN 2218-3620.

As is known, symbols are essentially a multidisciplinary concept, a category that can be the object and subject of research in various fields of science. Along with the origin of the world, animals, plants and humans, myths also symbolically interpreted all the events that took place before the current state of humanity. It is the similarity of the symbolic language that ensures the similarity of the myths formed in different parts of time and space. How to determine the place and position of symbols in the formation of artistic thought, which is deeply connected with mythical thought, is necessary to understand what myth is. Then, the objective of this work is to analyze the symbolic principles in the mythical understanding of nature. In this article, the symbolization mechanism of nature is considered as an event with deep, philosophical, aesthetic and mythical content. It is based on the fact that the symbolization of nature through archetypes begins with mythical logic, and in the cult of nature, rational, irrational, and emotional behaviors are combined to constitute a complex content. It was found that although myths are a source for the interpretation of artistic symbols, symbolic thought has also played a role in the creation of the myth itself, which is why the study of myth and the appeal to myth has always maintained its relevance.
