The text explores the concept of emancipation within the context of both natural and human history. The author argues that the formation of history can be viewed as a series of emancipatory steps through which pre-human ancestors distanced themselves from their original natural environment or Umwelt. This process began with the invention of rituals and magical acts. A pivotal moment in this evolution was the emergence of vocal rituals, which, due to their versatility and semantic depth, eventually surpassed other ritualistic forms like mimicry or physical movement. The establishment of language is interpreted as a secondary emancipatory process, transforming humans into speaking beings who communicate through words. This shift represents a transition of the center of human existence from a purely natural environment into a world of narrativity and myth. Humans thus became creatures who relate to their surroundings through the prism of mythical narratives, establishing a new kind of existence defined by speech and shared symbolic meanings, transcending their original biological boundaries.
