Western man has, for many centuries, been under the influence of two great myths.
To me the word myth signifies a great idea in terms of which man tries to make sense with the world; it may be an idea, or it may be an image.
…The image of the world as an artifact.
The whole of Western thought is profoundly influenced through and through and through by the idea that all events, all people, all mountains, all stars, all flowers, everything are artifacts.
