Description
Mythopoesis and the Modern World by M. Alan Kazlev explores the concept of myth-making as a fundamental form of storytelling that taps into human consciousness, existing at the intersection of the external world known to science and empirical observation and the inner world described in myth, art, imagination, and phenomenology. This book draws inspiration from various authors and studies mythopoesis and archetypes in the science fiction and fantasy genres, examining their relationship with mythological and metaphysical narratives. By investigating this intersection of worlds, Kazlev sheds light on the significance of myths and myth-making in contemporary culture. Through its exploration of mythopoesis, the book offers insights into the nature of human consciousness and the role of storytelling in shaping our understanding of reality.
