| IPTC INFO | | Caption | Creative Mythology : The Masks of God Volume IV Masks of God Paperback by Joseph Campbell ___________________________ This volume deals mainly with the mythology of individuation and with the history of the movement from tribal/sociological mythogenesis to the concept of the individual as his/her own "all in All" interpreter who uses the past as guide but not as a monolithic revelation or absolutist decree necessarily. I was most fascinated by the discussions of artistic creation in terms of mythogenesis''--- B. Michael Harlow--- ***** The idea of the book that has stayed with me the most since I read it is the idea that an artist neither accepts myth as historical fact nor rejects it as useless but moves somewhere between those two extreme poles to mine its history. ---C. Gilbert--- ***** Campbell's core belief was that all humanity has a common origin and that the study of mythology exposes this core identity amongst all peoples. By traversing the plains of time back to the very first artifacts of human behavior he draws a compelling conclusion that we are all born of the same stock from the same mythopoetic and spiritual origin and destined to share the same future.--- Tom Lombardo--- ***** ______________________________ # Paperback: 752 pages # Publisher: Penguin Non-Classics; Reissue edition November 1 1991 # Language: English # ISBN: 0140194401 # Product Dimensions: 8.4 x 5.5 x 1.4 inches | | Headline | Creative Mythology : The Masks of God Volume IV | | Copyright Notice | by Joseph Campbell | | URL | http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0140194401/ref=pd_sim_b_2/103-2743589-5184664?wwwcarnavalcom |
