From Myth to Philosophy

Everything that exists is knowledge. Other living things on earth have sufficient information for life instinctively. However, humans are born without knowledge. Learning is the only way to acquire knowledge. People must establish and made knowledge on this way, they have to live according to their own doing, they must control and develop theirself and their knowledges. Humans tend to live their lives according to their knowledge level. At first sight, this human condition may appear as negative. However it is the basis and foundation for morality, state, science, art, religion, constructive-creative life, freedom, responsibility and improving oneself, briefly everything humanly. People`s existence has been established on this basis. The answer to the question of life that only humans have, is arrived at based on the above. Human want to know everything which seeing as a problem: the universe, nature, life, theirself and even the structure of knowledge seeking, briefly everything. At the beginning, there are questions and the answers individually are found to the questions. The answers transferring and becoming widespread through telling have been gathered and settled down over time and human has reached a world design for whole. This was mythology the first enveloping fiction of humans. People found the answer to a number of questions there, the answer was believed to be the truth and living with that faith, myths were kept alive.

On the other hand, research and learning were continuing at a number of places. With accumulating new knowledge, the first steps towards redesigning of a holistic universe were taken in the city of Miletos. Philosophy started at this point. Having started the philosophy, it was supposed that myths would die out. However myths were actually surviving; they were being kept alive by the faithful who had a strong connection to them. Human has no more than one mind: There is only one mind. With it, human made myths, also make philosophy and science. Then, where is the separation point? What changed when passing from myth to philosophy? How did we pass from myth to philosophy? The biggest adventure of humans is in the knowledge. The knowledge adventure reached in myths the first big peak, then began to emerge in philosophy big peaks. If there is but a single mind, how did all this originate?

There is no big difference between mind of people establishing mythology and mind of people establishing science when considering the thinking behind them. Also there is no much separation between the form of thought progeniture the basic structure of the mythos, the form of thought start and develop philosophy at the same period and the form of thought forming the roof of sciences coming up to today beginning with Renaissance. The first place we come across parallels and interactions between mythos, philosophy and science, is Aegean civilizations of antiquity.
