Wie (den) neuen Mythen begegnen? Europa und die Aufklärungsfrage radika phänomenologisch gesehen. (German)

The primal institution of the Greek "vision" as a European base of all knowledge, which asserted itself in the "Enlightenment" as a principle of "objectivity", has only one way of phenomenalisation that of "showing itself". In contrast, the most originary phenomenality of pure impressions was not previously recognized as a "universal" access to the truth. Such a radical phenomenological "self-enlightenment" is necessary if a truly common future will be founded on the transcendent reality of all individuals, without being further mediated by abstract myths of universality.
