โ€˜Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.โ€™

โ€œMax Weber spoke of the โ€˜disenchantment of the worldโ€™ and โ€˜life in an iron cage.โ€™ Are we really doomed to this cage, or have we locked ourselves in it? This is, first and foremost, an intuition: life is much more than this. In spite of everything, in spite of all our attempts to โ€˜rationalizeโ€™ it, to make it comprehensible and predictable, life nonetheless remains a mystery. In its โ€œgreat returnโ€, myth can tell us about what this mystery is. Perhaps we can expect a great wave of โ€œre-mythologizationโ€, the creation of new mythologies after the general banalization that has now reached an unprecedented extent. The future, however, is unpredictable. Even today, man does not live fully in a rational universe, one part of him forever belongs to the great realms of the mythical.โ€
