Nor, as we have said, is the division between good and evil present in the beginning.  Man and world have not yet been divided into pure and impure, good and bad; there is at most the difference between that which works, is pregnant with mana and loaded with taboo, and that which does not work.  But what works is pre-eminent, beyond good and evil.
