Maps of Meaning. The Architecture of Belief
29.99 €
Jordan Peterson is a clinical psychologist, philosopher, professor of psychology at the University of Toronto and author of the international bestseller 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos.
Why do peoples of different cultures and eras have similarly structured myths and beliefs? What do these similarities tell us about human consciousness and the structure of the world itself?
In answering these questions, Jordan Peterson draws connections between mythological ideas about the universe and what modern science knows about the brain. The author's groundbreaking theory integrates neuropsychology, cognitive theories, Freudian and Jungian approaches to mythology and narrative. "Maps of Meaning" refutes the view that mythological consciousness is primitive compared to scientific thinking and reveals to the modern critical mind the profound meaning and wisdom of myths.
This edition is the first, seminal work by the famous scholar, and the most comprehensive presentation of his original theory.
