It would only appear as if the enlightened worldview is superior to the mythical. In reality, both approaches would be closely connected.
The ideal of enlightenment is the rational explanation of the world in order to control nature. In it, understanding is replaced by the formula.
Through the argumented defense of the mythical interpretation of the world, the principle of rationality would already be acknowledged. As a result, it would get stronger with each confrontation.
We show, do not explain. But I have not mastered that allusive language yet!
"As being and an event, enlightenment only recognises that which can be encompassed in the unit; its ideal is the system, from which all and everything follows."
All gods and qualities should be destroyed.
In this, it overlooks that myths are already a product of the enlightenment. "As commander over nature, the creative God and the ordering intellect are alike."
They have the same roots, as "myths like magical rites hold themselves to have a repetitive nature."
