Fate: psychology of myth

The universal psychological features of the interpretation of the idea of fate as an ancient phenomenon of everyday consciousness are revealed. The main variants of interpretation of the predestination of the course and outcome of individual life and ways of acquaintance with them are presented. Archetypal reactions to the predestined or apparent are determined. The reasons for the unfading faith in fate, which testify to the psychological reality of mythical representations, are characterized.

The book is addressed to fellow humanitarians and a wide range.
