Adventure as a means of nomads’ existence

The article analyses such a means of nomads’ existence as an adventure, describes the archetypes of an adventurous character. The author studies the ontological bases of the adventurous behaviour, which are found in the stochastic worldview of ancient atomists. The paper considers the act of risk experiencing as a necessary condition of the genesis of intensity impulse that generates the adventurous leap. The actual and simulated adventures are compared, their interconnection is discussed.
