The transmutation of the logos in postmodern society

The transmutation of the logos in postmodern society

Let us trace the fate of the Logos in the Postmodern. It is extremely important to always remember that the Logos is one of the manifestations of the heroic myth, i.e. the product of the diurnal regime (according to J. Durand's classification). Nor is it the only one, nor is it absolute. The Logos includes the antithetical and pleonasmic sides of the heroic myth (heterogeneous homogenisation) and takes them to their ultimate limit, but it also leaves aspects of the Diurnal myth such as the direct and frenzied will to power, passionality and hyperbolisation in the unconscious. Of course, these aspects of the Diurnal - relatives of the Logos - also penetrate the same, but not explicitly, but through the inertia of the choreic attraction of the heroic myths to one another (i.e. not logically).
