Cultural twilight means cultural disintegration or death. It means cul- tural agony. Such agony gradually fades into the dawn of tomorrow s culture just as the twilight of a summer s evening proceeds into the daylight of the forthcoming day. Consequently cultural twilight or agony simul- taneously is the dawn - the milieu of birth - of future gods. With these words a close interbelonging of the recently published SEARCH FOR GoDS with the present study OUR CULTURAL AGONY is stressed. Both of these books belong together and constitute one and the same story . While SEARCH FOR GODS deals with man of tomorrow in his venture to find the way which would lead him to his dawning gods OUR CULTURAL AGONY attempts to disclose contemporary man s ways of erring - his stray- ing ways. Moreover just as the way towards man s future gods is simul- taneously his way to his true cultural self so are his straying ways his ways of a lack of self. Man s way to his true self is his authentic innermost bloody or ex-istential way while the way of his lack of self is his inauthentic way. The inauthentic ways generally speaking are democratic ways: they are the public and common ways of modem society most typical or characteristic of it. Accordingly while SEARCH FOR GODS has an indi- vidualistic character OUR CULTURAL AGONY has a social character.
