Narrative Identity Takes Part In The Story's

If It Is True That There Is Always More Than One Way Of Construing A Text, It Is Not True That All Interpretations Are Equal.

On A Cosmic Scale, Our Life Is Insignificant, Yet This Brief Period When We Appear In The World Is The Time In Which All Meaningful Questions Arise.

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.
