Description: Creative Mythology by Joseph Campbell An updated edition of a beloved classic, Creative Mythology tells the inner story of humanitys entire philosophical, spiritual, and artistic history since the Dark Ages, ultimately positioning each of us as the creator of our own mythology In this fourth and final volume in The Masks of God series — Joseph Campbells major work of comparative mythology — the preeminent mythologist looks at the birth of the modern, individualistic mythology as it developed in Europe beginning in the twelfth century. Tracing the disintegration of orthodox tradition up through the radical art and philosophies of the late twentieth century, Campbell arrives at an astonishing insight: modern humans are the first to witness the creation of myth and position themselves as the center of their own mythology. Presaging our current era of personal brands, curated feeds, and celebrity influence, he wrote upon completion of this final volume, "[The unity of humanity] has everywhere unfolded in the manner of a single symphony, with its themes announced, developed, amplified and turned about, distorted, reasserted, and today, in a grand fortissimo of all sections sounding together, irresistibly advancing to some kind of mighty climax, out of which the next great movement will emerge." Updated with recent findings from archeology, anthropology, and psychology that support his perceptive analysis of human cultural evolution, this new edition of Creative Mythology remains as vital, revelatory, and urgent as the original did upon publication more than half a century ago. FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Joseph Campbell (1904–1987) is widely credited with bringing mythology to a mass audience. His works, including The Hero with a Thousand Faces, the four-volume The Masks of God, and The Power of Myth (with Bill Moyers), rank among the classics in mythology and literature. Review "[Campbell] says things here that have not been so explicitly said anywhere else — though every good artist has implied them — and he says them with urgency, breadth and some of the most impressive scholarship of our time." — Gerald Sykes, The New York Times Details ISBN1608689174 Publisher New World Library Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781608689170 Imprint New World Library Audience General Author Joseph Campbell Pages 752 ISBN-10 1608689174 Series The Collected Works of Joseph Campbell Format Hardcover Publication Date 2024-12-12 Subtitle The Masks of God Volume 4 Place of Publication Novato, CA Country of Publication United States US Release Date 2024-12-12 Replaces 9780140194401 DEWEY 201.3 UK Release Date 2024-12-12 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
