Abstract

The article examines the concept of the “primeval mind,” the “savage mind,” and “mythical thought” in the approaches of early (Tylor, Lévy-Bruhl)) and later (Lévi-Strauss) anthropology with some philosophical approaches (Vico, Cassirer). The aim of the research is to demonstrate the common elements of these notions and to consider certain approaches from the point of view of contemporary research on the presence of the image in culture, indicating how much these early concepts help to understand the relationship between imaging and thinking, as well as its importance and impact on the “omnipresence of the image” in our culture.
