G. Jung  Mircea Eliade  and Joseph Campbell.  The Politics of Myth examines the political views implicit in the mythological theories of three of the most widely read popularizers of myth in the twentieth century  C. G. Jung  Mircea Eliade  and Joseph Campbell. All three had intellectual roots in the anti-modern pessimism and romanticism that also helped give rise to European fascism  and all three have been accused of fascist and anti-Semitic sentiments. At the same time  they themselves tended toward individualistic views of the power of myth  believing that the world of ancient myth contained resources that could be of immense help to people baffled by the ambiguities and superficiality of modern life.  Robert Ellwood details the life and thought of each mythologist and the intellectual and spiritual worlds within which they worked. He reviews the damaging charges that have been made about their politics  taking them seriously while endeavoring to put them in the context of the individuals entire career and lifetime contribution. Above all  he seeks to extract from their published work the view of the political world that seems most congruent with it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44985987170357,"sku":"ByrdShop_079144306X","price":28.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780791443064.jpg?v=1770880499","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-politics-of-myth-a-study-of-c-g-jung-mircea-eliade-and-joseph-campbell-issues-study-religion","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
