Joseph Campbell analyses myth in psychoanalytic terms to reveal their essential qualities and to demonstrate how they continue to reflect human needs, providing reassurance even in today's world.Ranging from Zen koans and Indian aesthetics to walking on the moon, Joseph Campbell explores how myth and religion follow the same archetypes, which are not exclusive to any single race, religion or region. Campbell believed that all religion is a search for the same transcendent and fundamental spiritual truths. He shows how we must recognise the common denominators between differing myths and faiths and allow this knowledge to fulfil human potential everywhere.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 214mmItem Length: 134mmItem Width: 24mmItem Weight: 280gAuthor: Joseph CampbellGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Language & ReferenceRelease Year: 1995 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
