About the Book:
Myths and Mythologies is a comprehensive compilation that brings together some of the most significant classic and contemporary writings on the subject of myth. Written by Jeppe Sinding Jensen, this 416-page paperback explores the nature of myths across cultures and time periods, offering philosophical, psychological, sociological, semiological, and cognitivist perspectives.
The book presents the deep cultural significance of myths, emphasizing how they shape and reflect our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Myths contain profound truths for insiders and are often seen by outsiders as products of wishful thinking. This reader will help students and scholars appreciate the role of narrative in shaping human culture and the concept of truth within religious language.
For anyone interested in the interplay of myth, culture, and narrative, Myths and Mythologies is an invaluable resource that will deepen the understanding of how storytelling influences our perception of reality.
