Paradoxný vzťah mýtu a vedy
The Paradoxical Relationship between Myth and Science

Summary/Abstract: A myth is a set of symbolic images related by their meaning and gathered in the subconscious minds of generations, where certain aspects of human existence find their specific expression. Since certain time (end of the 18th century) the European civilisation has been generally “scientific” and anti-mythical. This basic paradox – i.e. the disagreement between the science enabling people in western civilisation to live rich life and the need to have complete and ready explanation of the world at the disposal the science may never offer is the basis of modern myths creation. Even modernism had its myths (metanarrations). Postmodernism offers its own myths.
