Abstract

In Blumenberg seems that the myth of creation is to promote a sufficient condition for the development of civilization. It's full of culture reflected in it for the purpose on the inherent requirements - to conquer the real absolutism. This is the creation myth of legitimacy. Only full, rather than a necessity of civilization can only be an aesthetic myth writing fables. This is a myth created by the illegal nature. Thus, the myth of allegorical writing aesthetic dilemma came bearing dualism of Gnosticism, the history of aesthetic ideas in the West endless creation myth of Prometheus see out. In the overall reconstruction of the history of Western aesthetic ideas, the Brandt made ​​a disturbing interpretation of the aesthetic issues after myth. From Hans Blumengerg's perspective, work on myth is a sufficient condition on promoting development of civilization. Its sufficiency is well embodied in the internal demand of the cultural teleology, which is a kind of absolutism of conquering reality, and legitimacy of work on myth as well . It isn't its necessity but its sufficiency that formed an allegory of aesthetic myth for civilization recording, which is the illegitimacy of work on myth. Hence, the aporia of aesthetic myth writing derived from Gnosticism's dualism, which was represented in western aesthetic history of Prometheus myth writings. After reconstructing its history thoroughly, Blumengerg puts forwards a disconcerting hermeneutic question on post-aesthetic myth
