In Praise of Polytheism

  • ... that the essay "In Praise of Polytheism" dismisses all similarities between Enlightenment philosophy and striptease? Source: Marquard, Odo (1989). "In Praise of Polytheism (On Monomythical and Polymythical Thinking)". Farewell to Matters of Principle: Philosophical Studies. Translated by Wallace, Robert M. New York and Oxford: Oxford University Press. p. 91. ISBN 0-19-505114-9. Mythonudism strives for something impossible; because, it seems to me, every demythologization is a well compensated process: the more myths one takes off, the more myths stay on. That is why I have doubts about the striptease: doubts (to put it more precisely) about the idea of the enlightenment (late in world history) as a striptease operating with myths. This idea, I said, is itself a myth; so it is time to find a countermyth to it. - this particular page isn't part of the Google Books preview, but web searches for parts of the quote will yield some snippets from a Scribd.com upload. Of course, there is also piracy.
    • ALT1:... that a modern Gnostic disapproved of the essay "In Praise of Polytheism" because he thought it repeated the apostasy of the Roman emperor Julian? Source: Taubes 1983, p. 464, quoted in Gladigow (2001, p. 146) (accusation, in German: "Die Rekurse auf Mythos post Christum sind in Wahrheit nur Wiederholungen der Apostasie Julians") & Styfhals 2019, p. 264 (Taubes as a modern Gnostic; also p. 2: "...Taubes, as a modern Gnostic...")
