Abstract

The article is a brief comparative work, whose subject are two different spec­ulative myths. The first is the myth of English theologian Alan Watts; the second – the Jewish philosopher Hans Jonas. Both myths refer to the issues of theodicy. This article attempts to present the main thesis of both myths. Furthermore, it shows the specific role of a myth in the context of issues of theodicy.
