The Myth of Self-Knowledge in Genesis 1-2: The Fascination of the Encounter

2021 , Esparza, Gustavo

My purpose in this paper is to analyze the encounter between Adam and Eve as it is described in Genesis 1–2. Here I consider the myth as a valid source of self-knowledge, inasmuch as through its narration it is possible to experience the moment of fascination in which “man” realizes that “woman” is “bones of his bones and flesh of his flesh.” I will emphazise that this expression is developed through a phenomenological process which implies, in turn, a pedagogical path to form in man the capacity to understand the woman as the culminating point of creation, and that, being “like” me means being different from me.
