Politeizam i monoteizam u konceptu mojsijevskog razlikovanja Jana Assmanna - Elementi »osovinske« transformacije staroegipatskog religijskog naslijeđa kao kulturni i egzistencijalni preludij razvoju ekskluzivnog monoteizma

Abstract
Assmann’s crucial concept in his theory of cultural memory is »the Mosaic Distinction« (die Mosaische Unterscheidung). It is the starting point of a new revolutionary distinction – between truth and falsehood in religion, and the entire spectrum of consequences as a result thereof – a break with all earlier traditions, and the process of formation of a new type of religion that stands apart from other religions and spheres of culture such as politics, law and economics. This revolutionary monotheism has replaced the ancient polytheistic world in which Assmann found the dynamic and creative system that has contributed in many elements to the rise of a new monotheistic synthesis rooted in Mosaic distinction. The purpose of this article is to offer a partial insight into this rather forgotten, »buried« world that Assmann has vivified with his erudition, presenting some important achievements of Ancient Egypt firmly incorporated into our civilisation.

Sažetak
Središnji koncept Assmannove teorije kulturnog sjećanja je »mojsijevsko razlikovanje « (Die Mosaische Unterscheidung). Ono je ključ razumijevanja novog revolucionarnog razlikovanja: između istinitog i lažnog u religiji, što povlači spektar posljedica: prekid sa svim ranijim tradicijama i proces formiranja novog tipa religije koja se odvaja od svih drugih vjerovanja i područja kulture kao što su politika, pravo i ekonomija. Ovaj revolucionarni monoteizam je zamijenio antički politeistički svijet, u kojemu Assmann nalazi dinamičan i kreativan sustav koji će po mnogim sastojnicama pridonijeti usponu nove monoteističke sinteze sadržane u ideji »mojsijevskog razlikovanja«. Svrha ovog članka je ponuditi ograničen uvid u ovaj podosta zaboravljeni, »pokopani« svijet, kojega Assmann oživljava svojom erudicijom, predstavljajući neke od važnih postignuća drevnog Egipta, koja su čvrsto ugrađena u našu civilizaciju.
