Blumenberg. La ragione del mito

Abstract

Myth is not a way to go back to the origins, it has rather got its own function within the task that men carry out in receiving history. Such function also includes a continuous mythicization in order to set a distance from reality’s absolutism. Myth has its own proper sense, which is not in opposition to the function of the logos. It is rather a principle of the constitution of meaning in the finitude of existence.
