Oh woe my disappointment - I thought I had found JC's analysis of Science fiction, but no. The subtitle is a much more accurate description of this book about Religion and Mythology. Still interesting, but nothing said here that wasn't already covered in the Hero of a Thousand Faces. Oh well. Interesting and good addition to comparative Mythology, particularly concerning eastern religion. "the lord of the motivating powers of temporal life, whose names are Karma ("Desire"), Mara ("Death"), and Dharma ("Social Duty")" Mostly a mixture of unfalsifiable woo, a truly atrocious attempt at radical-prehistory-by-insinuation (the evidence adduced is cherry-picked and decontextualized, making for a weak argument that is so reductionistic as to be devoid of any explanatory power whatsoever even were he right in his facts), and a misguided appropriation of relativity-theory; but the first and second chapters have a few redeeming aspects (solid critique of mainstream-religious apologetics, interesting analysis of the basic structure of worldwide religious history). Also it's repetitive, both in substance and example, which after a while make the arguments begin to seem forced. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Developed from a memorable series of lectures delivered in San Francisco, which included a legendary symposium at the Palace of Fine Arts with astronaut Rusty Schweickart, Joseph Campbell's last book explores the space age. Campbell posits that the newly discovered laws of outer space are actually at work within human beings as well and that a new mythology is implicit in this realization. He examines the new mythology and other questions in these essays which he described as "a broadly shared spiritual adventure." Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
