Lecture by Peter F. Drucker given at Bennington College regarding the understanding and interpretation of the word "myth" and the personification of the state. According to Drucker, the myth symbolizes the basic experience of humankind's existence as beings, the bridge between experience and reason. He proceeds to state that it makes no sense to question whether or not there is a state or whether there should be one - the very fact that a myth exists for the state demonstrates several chief concerns, namely, what myth we should have, and how we should interpret it. Given that the myth of the state exists, Drucker goes on to provide "absolute prerequisites" for a true interpretation of the myth of the state.
