It has been commonplace to maintain of the phenomenon that occurred during classical times, the change from relying on myth to trusting in reason: (1) that the emergence of philosophy from myth was marked by an abrupt discontinuity; (2) that mythical thinking was left behind once philosophy was invented or discovered; and (3) that the ancient Greeks were the agents of this miracle. This paper suggests that the so-called "Greek miracle" was, in fact, a miracle manqué and, more importantly, that close examination of this failed miracle offers valuable insight into the philosophical crisis facing the world today
