Debate on Myth and Scientific Thinking

The book focuses on the debate about myth as a counter-concept to contemporary scientific thinking. Is it possible to find perspectives in its field of meaning that are so incompatible with the current zeitgeist that they allow us to "step out" of it and look at it "from the outside"? This is what is urgently needed.

For the seemingly alternative-less materialistic way of thinking has the world firmly in its grip and has so far largely taken over any criticism without consequences. In the face of a development that is rushing towards ecological, economic and social abysses, we need a reflection, a radical critique that allows us to break free from the given constraints.
