| description | Plato and Aristotle knew well that myth, too, is philosophy— in its own way: that is, on this side of ontology and of the idea of incontrovertible truth. Myth is in fact faith, something not undeniable. Yet what formidable abysses some of them have opened! Abysses in which we are unconsciously enveloped, generally forgetful of their presence. They are, we might say, shadowings of remote and ever-living truths, since “myth,” in the strong sense, is ultimately that which has never happened because it is always happening. Dazzling intimations of Meaning, which the destiny of truth (Emanuele Severino) knows how to discern beneath the errant persuasion—of which they are nonetheless a vehicle—that the world is a becoming other and from other (archaic consciousness) and, at its root, a becoming nothing and from nothing (philosophical consciousness). The Circle (including its correlative Paradise), the Fall, the Cave, the Cross: these are the myths that speak most prophetically to us about the meaning of human and cosmic existence, and it is no coincidence that they have undergone astonishing developments throughout the history of philosophical thought. What, then, can they concretely tell us today— in an age that generally views them as relics of a bygone time—when seen through the incontrovertible gaze of destiny? Each of them is given a chapter (the myth of Paradise, to varying degrees, runs through them all). The fifth and final chapter turns instead to their common foundation—each being in concrete terms the unity of itself and the others—: the (myth of) Nothingness, the most contemporary and enduring of all (for what is more “obvious” than no longer being and not yet being?), the silent and maddening premise of our arduous “living.” All the more decisive, the more concealed it is. This is what causes “this life of ours,” though so desirable on the surface, to reveal itself just beneath that surface as terrible, atrocious, unbearable. |
