	Europa (mythology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		In Greek mythology, the Cretan Bull was either the bull that carried away Europa or the bull Pasiphae fell in love with.

		Thus it is proper to the theoretical attitude of the philosopher that he is more and more predetermined to devote his whole future life, in the sense of a universal life, to the task of theoria, to build theoretical knowledge upon theoretical knowledge in infinitum.
		Gods in the plural, mythical powers of every kind, are objects belonging to the environing world, on the same level of reality as animal or man. In the concept of God, the singular is essential.
