Comparative mythology was a little-known academic subject until Joseph Campbell published The Hero with a Thousand Faces. This groundbreaking study brought mythology out of the academy and into the mainstream. Campbell convincingly demonstrated that all myths, regardless of culture, share a fundamental unity. In addition to his prolific writing, Campbell gave thousands of lectures and interviews during his lifetime. Myth and Meaning collects his most interesting and thoughtful responses to a wide range of interviewers, including seminar participants, historian Steed Terkel, and journalists from publications such as Time, Esquire, and Psychology Today. The informal question-and-answer format allows Campbell to showcase his charm, humor, and easy command of the subject.
You'll learn:
- Where do myths come from?
- How did Campbell discover the timeless pattern of the Hero's Journey?
- Can our politically divided, multicultural society find myths to live by? - How did Campbell's life story influence his research?
