He shows how these myths have influenced the development of philosophy, religion, and art, and how they continue to shape our understanding of the world today.Kuhn also explores the darker side of myth, arguing that it can be used to justify violence and oppression. He examines the ways in which myths have been used to support imperialism, slavery, and genocide, and suggests that we need to be aware of these dangers in order to create a more just and equitable society.Overall, ""Sublime Myth Makes Grotesque History"" is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the power of myth in human history.
