Abstract

The problem of the Genesis in philosophy is one of the fundamental themes of modern historical-philosophical science. The article deals with the problem of reflection of ontological categories in the cosmogonic sources of the New Kingdom. Based on the analysis of the use of nouns xprw (forms of development, appearances) and wnnt (being) demonstrates the nature of the formation of "speculative theology" in the sources of the Theban religious thought of the New Kingdom. The question of the basic characteristics of pre-philosophical categories in their distinction from the traditional myth is also discussed in the article.
