EN
Referring to the Nazi Germany war-ideology the author examines if their high-tech succession of the flint stone processing heritage should count as a Promethean revolt against, or as a result of the revealed religion. The application of Girard’s mimetic theory leads to the conclusion that a third alternative is plausible, opening the perspective of a less bellicose exploit of the prime technical potential.
PL
Nawiązując do ideologii wojennej nazistowskich Niemiec, autor zastanawia się, czy ich wysoko rozwiniętą technologię, będącą dziedzictwem obróbki krzemienia, należałoby uznać za prometejski bunt przeciwko objawionej religii, czy też za jej skutek. Zastosowanie mimetycznej teorii Girarda prowadzi do wniosku, że możliwa jest trzecia alternatywa, otwierająca perspektywę mniej bojowego wykorzystania doskonałego potencjału technicznego.
