so that he will revolve about himself as his own true sun It is the task of history, therefore, once the other-world of truth has vanished, to establish the truth of this world The immediate task of philosophy, which is in the service of history, is to unmask human self-alienation in its secular form now that it has been unmasked in its sacred form Thus notes to chapter 13 / 301 the criticism of heaven is transformed into a criticism of earth, the criticism of religion into the criticism of law, and the criticism of theology into the criticism of politics.” I not agree with Marx’s ideal that “man” should use his reason to dispel myths so that he might better “revolve about himself as his own true sun”; my post-Marxian critique focuses on the need for educated men and women to see the destructiveness of individualism, and therefore to work to restore communities that foster and support individual respect and sustenance This page intentionally left blank Index Absolutism, 8–9, 11, 22, 66, 112, 234, 237, 263 Africa, image of, 11, 23, 137, 139, 151, 128, 138, 248 Africa, regions: Allada, 23, 138, 234;
