Beyond The Desert Of Criticism, We Wish

Testimony Demands To Be Interpreted Because Of The Dialectic Of Meaning And Event That Traverses It

But Myth Is Something Else Than An Explanation Of The World, Of History, And Of Destiny. Myth Expresses In Terms Of The World - That Is, Of The Other World Or The Second World - The Understanding That Man Has Of Himself In Relation To The Foundation And The Limit Of His Existence. Hence To Demythologize Is To Interpret Myth, That Is, To Relate The Objective Representations Of The Myth To The Self-understanding Which Is Both Shown And Concealed In It.

The Moral Law Commands Us To Make The Highest Possible Good In A World The Final Object Of All Our Conduct.

It Is Always Possible To Argue Against An Interpretation, To Confront Interpretations, To Arbitrate Between Them And To Seek For An Agreement, Even If This Agreement Remains Beyond Our Reach.

So Long As The New Testament Served To Decipher The Old, It Was Taken As An Absolute Norm.
