Philosophy of the Machine 6

The sixth chapter tells how the phallic sign of the bull deity
turns into an alphabetic type. But where does this story begin?
There, where the god in bull form abducts Europa to Crete? Or in
the labyrinth of Daedalus, where the Alpha-beast and mythical
figure awaits its extinction?


With the Alphabet, the twilight of the gods begins…we do not meet
the riddle of creation here, but rather a nature that is spun
into the type wheel of an already given understanding of the
world.
