الأسطورة : فلسفة الإنسان الأول مفهومها و تحولاتها على ضوء النقد الأسطوري

Abstract EN

This article attempts to stand at some of the basic concepts of legend, as a complex cultural phenomenon that reflects the religion of the first human being and his philosophy of life and existence.

The contributions of scholars and specialists in many fields have enriched its concept, and thus closed some of its aspects to remove the ambiguity around it.

Perhaps the literature that preserved it since its early ages has formed, by marrying it with it, a new term, which is the literary myth.

The attempt to approach this newly developed term is consistent with the steps of the legendary criticism approach of Pierre Brunel, who limited it to three levels: manifestation, compliance and radiation, with these levels that combine together, the student can dive into the folds of the literary work to reveal the mythical elements with symbolic connotations through which the writer aims to broadcast his ideas and visions in society.
