Abstract: The myth as a social imposition that works as a story and a value that guide us, accommodating us to the reality in which we develop,making it “ours”. I defend the presence of a “vital world” sustained in the myth as a phenomenon that exists in all areas of our life,a justified need of “lebenswelt” and that somehow reassures and justifies me. For this, I will maintain a dialogue of encounter andinterpretation between Hans Blumenberg’s theory (myth: dissipation of the fear in front of the complex, arrogant and anonymous worldview, capable of deciphering) and Leszek Kolakowski’s theory (myth: what keeps a community together and cohesive). Keywords: Complexity, world view, myth, nature, subjectivity.
