By way of guarding against myth it is, then, desirable to point out everything that is made incomprehensible by empiricist constructions and all the basic phenomena which they conceal. They hide from us in the first place ‘the cultural world’ or ‘human world’ in which nevertheless almost our whole life is led. For most of us, Nature is a vague and remote entity, overlaid by cities, roads, houses, and above all by the presence of other people.
