Phenomenology of a miracle in A.F. Losev’swork "Dyalectics of myth"
The article discusses the reflections on the phenomenon of a miracle presented in A.F. Losev’s work «The Dialectic of Myth». The general idea of this work, the pinnacle of Losev’s early work, is an attempt to experience the myth from the inside and see the world from the point of view of the myth, to see everything that exists as a myth. This implies, firstly, a critical rethinking of our usual way of interpreting the myth, and secondly, the experience of positive «getting used» to the myth and mythical consciousness. The authorsof the article suggest that the problem of a miracle in Losev’s dialectical reflections is a place of penetration into the world of myth. Losev analyzes the phenomenon of the miracle from the point of view of his own apophatic dialectic - trying to get away from all the usual, natural interpretations of this phenomenon and come out to a positive disclosure of the experience of the miraculous. This means seeing a miracle from the point of view of the miracle itself, and not from any external positions. The miracle problem for Losev is a cosmological, not a phenomenological problem. This is not a question about any special events happening or not happening, but a question about that special look that sees or does not see all the events happening to us in a special way.
