Abstract:
If philosophy is thought by concept, then the representation of the question of MAN conveyed by
myth can be considered as a prefiguration of the concept.
From Antiquity to the Renaissance, the transmission of the myths of Ancient Greece and Rome was
paradoxically ensured by philosophy which, after having denounced the inability of these narratives
to transmit the truth and to develop an argument, This exegetical instrument, represented by the
myth, was used to show how, under their most surprising and scandalous elements, the highest
philosophical significance of the question of man was concealed? Man, in his need to understand
himself and to grasp the world, gives himself several avenues of investigation.And it is in the myth
that we understand best, the collusion of the most secret, most virulent postulations of the individual
psyche Starting from this paradoxical situation a question deserves to be asked: What is the value
of myth in the history of the questioning of humanity on Man? Can we ignore mythological
narratives in the historical knowledge of humanity to understand that is that Man? Can we consider
the myth as the first beginnings of the logos?
