Inhaltsangabe

We are not the rational animal, or the tool-making animal. We are the story-telling animal — the only creature in the known universe that lives inside a narrative. Mythosophy is an exploration of story as the fundamental organizing principle of human reality. Drawing on Joseph Campbell's hero's journey, Carl Jung's archetypes, Mircea Eliade's sacred and profane, and the storytelling traditions of Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, Tolkien, and Borges, this book maps the mythological territory of human existence — and offers a way back to the stories we need. For anyone who has felt that their story matters. For anyone who has been afraid it doesn't.
