Zvarych I., Kravchenko H. Myth as a Basic Factor of the Formation of Traditions. The article examines the tradition of the art of speech and the mythological basis in tradition. The authors argue that the tradition of the art of speech (actually, like any tradition) – is a huge amount of information that is in constant dynamics. The tradition is affected by innovations, is being deformed by them, many of its elements are forgotten, having lost their productivity. That is to say, tradition – is a permanent, mobile system, which contains the potency of the future and keeps all stages of the past. It shapes and determines originality of thought. So all that that contemporary artistic thinking is capable of, has its genesis in tradition. No matter how strange to us the innovations of modern literature might seem, they basically are part of the tradition. And this is not surprising, because this situation is, in fact, the main form of functioning of the tradition. The difference in each specific case is only in the number of traditional and innovative material in the piece of art. Although there is an undeniable truth that "everything has already been." That is to say, what we meen first of all, is not that it is "all" repeated literally, but simply takes a different view, semantics and functioning. One of the main provisions of information theory states that none of the existing systems of information at the output can not exceed the number of information at the input. The Dialogue of Generations in the process of formation of the tradition, in relatively general form for each of the stages of development, operated by the same volume and semantics large, one and the same truth for all and for ever. The difference lies only in the fact that at various stages of formation of traditions persons people differently saw themselves in the light of this truth. Recognizing this, we can say that the amount of information which constituates the tradition, is formed by a certain number of archetypes, which being implemented into cultural tradition make possible infinite variation according to all the complex of components of social consciousness – a product of an era. The authors conclude that one way or another in human history all the theories from different directions, disciplines, research fields covered one aspect of one of the available multiple-truth about man. One of the highest expressions of this truth and realization of its value is art in general and art in particular words. The last mentioned – is the oldest form of realization of this truth, for the spiritual man began with the words. It was the starting point of human history, it differentiated man from the animal kingdom, it was the only means of accumulation, preservation and transfering of human experience, it provided the person dominant position among the other creatures on earth. "In the beginning there was the word ..." And then - always. Word as a means of communication and the word as a form of knowledge of oneself, and so the word – a story of being of the human spirit. History, in which myth, folklore and literature are the three steps in the way of the ascent of man to himself and to God. Key words: myth, truth, tradition, information factor. Зварыч И., Кравченко Г. Миф как базовый фактор формирования традиций. В статье исследуется одно из главных положений теории информации, которое гласит: ни в одной из существующих информационных систем количество информации на выходе не может превышать информационной количества на входе. Диалог поколений в процессе становления традиции в условно обобщенном виде на каждой из стадий своего развития оперировал одной и той же по объему и семантикой большой, единой для всех и навсегда истиной. Авторы заключают, что так или иначе в истории человечества все теории по различным направлениям, дисциплин, отраслей науки освещали один из аспектов, одно из возможных значений многозначной истины о человеке. Одним из самых высоких проявлений этой истины и реализации ее значений является искусство вообще и искусство слова в частности. Последнее - древняя форма реализации этой истины, потому что духовный человек взял свре начало со слова. Оно стало точкой отсчета человеческой истории, оно отделило человека от животного мира, было единственным средством накопления, хранения и передачи человеческого опыта, оно обеспечило человеку господствующее положение среди других существ на земле. «Вначале было слово ... И потом - всегда. Слово как средство общения и слово как форма познания человеком самого себя, и поэтому слово - как история бытия человеческого духа. История, в которой миф, фольклор и литература являются тремя ступенями на пути восхождения человека к самому себе и к Богу. Ключевые слова: миф, истина, традиция, информация, фактор.
