Austin includes one chapter on the father's ghost in Shakespeare's
, and another on Albert Camus's
, as examples of the power of mythical archetypes to reveal and occlude Being, even when the apparatus of gods has been excluded.
Despite their pessimism, ancient myths also affirm that the paradoxes are not insoluble. Austin concludes by outlining the profile of the Universal Self intimated in myth, religion, and philosophy as the joint venture of the world realized in consciousness, consciousness realized in consciousness, and consciousness realized in the world.
