The New Mythology

Hegel understood his project in very religious terms. He was always translating those religious terms into philosophical conceptual terms of rational development. We must have a new mythology, but this mythology must be in the service of the ideas. It must be a mythology of reason, capital R reason. And really, all the things are getting integrated into a systematic understanding and that is now self-reflective. In a very deep sense, rationality has realized itself. it's a very powerful way of thinking.
