The problem of the article is the study of the dynamics of the formation of the motivational impact of the myth as the core of the ideal political construction. The author addresses the problem of the modern crisis of meanings in order to determine the possible ways out of it. Based on the approaches of scientific and technical romanticism determines the place and role of symbols in the construction of meanings. The thesis is put forward that the phenomenon of scientific and technical romanticism, which can be represented as a person's confidence in his ability to change the world and the immanent ability of the world to become better, appears in different forms of this phenomenon, such as myth, utopia, forecast, ideal construct. At a certain pre-scientific level, before the feeling and idea of the unity of the world and its laws, the dominant form of this confidence is still a vague idea of the possibility of the best, appearing primarily in the form of a myth, even not yet having the ability to mobilize the carriers of this myth. The article analyzes the pre-scientific forms of ideal-desired motivation; as the beginning and origin of the trend of designing alternatives. The role of an ideal construct and research of the future is defined and proved. As a result of the study, the author comes to the conclusion that the named sensation as the initial existence of this phenomenon in its undeveloped, minimized form, makes a certain ascent from the simple to the highest forms of manifestation, from dissatisfaction with the world - to the presentation of an alternative project and mastering the possibility of influencing the world in the implementation of this project. This cyclical ascent can be considered as the ascent of manifestations of the phenomenon as a spirit from its natural forms through axiological feeling to the acquisition of reality in its impact on the world.
