The Bounds of Myth
The Logical Path from Action to Knowledge
Series: - Value Inquiry Book Series, Volume: 364
- Studies in the History of Western Philosophy, Volume: 364
The articles in The Bounds of Myth, edited by Gustavo Esparza and Nassim Bravo, shed light on the internal shapes of the mythological discourse, showing the way in which myth borders religion, science, literature, theology, i.e., other forms of rationality. The contributing authors of the volume claim that myth is a valid form of thought and that the former evolves within other forms of discourse, even though its composition is independent and even precedes the latter.
The articles collected here demonstrate the importance of myth as a form of thought that is in constant development, a feature that shows in turn that in spite of its remote and archaic origin, myth remains a valuable and relevant tool to interpret our own culture.
Contributors are: Nassim Bravo, Claudio Calabrese, Teresa EnrÃquez, Gustavo Esparza, Ethel Junco, Enrique MartÃnez, Cecilia Sabido and Jon Stewart.
