Note 28

The dualism between existence and essence is essentially characterized by the different modalities involved in what exists and what can be said. This dualism is the reason for the mischaracterization of the relations within the real by corresponding propositions which aim at truth, and on the other hand, the misapplication of the notion of truth of assertions into the real, which remain problematic, and which are mostly held for good reasons that when looked into, cannot be adequately unpacked, nor fully justified.

It is when these reasons lay claim to assertoric truths about the real that motivations for belief-systems merge with present utility to create the image of fact, which forms part of a mediated and coherant system of myths. This is not to deny the underlying Real: it denies in principle the conceivability of truthfulness of that Real to cognizable facts. This is also not to deny the possibility of the correspondence of the Real to those facts, that is, correspondence within the bounds of all possible evidence, since it must necessarily affirm that minimal possiblity as a condition of validity of any statement at all about what is real.

The core myth of which we are concerned is the myth of individualized objectified-subjectivity, which forms the core assumption of the core value - self-development - of the Enlightenment myth.
