Download or read book Myth and Philosophy in Platonic Dialogues written by Omid Tofighian and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book rethinks Plato’s creation and use of myth by drawing on theories and methods from myth studies, religious studies, literary theory and related fields. Individual myths function differently depending on cultural practice, religious context or literary tradition, and this interdisciplinary study merges new perspectives in Plato studies with recent scholarship and theories pertaining to myth. Significant overlaps exist between prominent modern theories of myth and attitudes and approaches in studies of Plato’s myths. Considering recent developments in myth studies, this book asks new questions about the evaluation of myth in Plato. Its appreciation of the historical conditions shaping and directing the study of Plato’s myths opens deeper philosophical questions about the relationship between philosophy and myth and the relevance of myth studies to philosophical debates. It also extends the discussion to address philosophical questions and perspectives on the distinction between argument and narrative.

Download or read book Myth and Philosophy from the Presocratics to Plato written by Kathryn A. Morgan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-08-17 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the dynamic relationship between myth and philosophy in the Presocratics, the Sophists, and in Plato - a relationship which is found to be more extensive and programmatic than has been recognized. The story of philosophy's relationship with myth is that of its relationship with literary and social convention. The intellectuals studied here wanted to reformulate popular ideas about cultural authority and they achieved this goal by manipulating myth. Their self-conscious use of myth creates a self-reflective philosophic sensibility and draws attention to problems inherent in different modes of linguistic representation. Much of the reception of Greek philosophy stigmatizes myth as 'irrational'. Such an approach ignores the important role played by myth in Greek philosophy, not just as a foil but as a mode of philosophical thought. The case studies in this book reveal myth deployed as a result of methodological reflection, and as a manifestation of philosophical concerns.

Download or read book Myth and the Limits of Reason written by Phillip Stambovsky and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 1996 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally understood as pre-critical, even pre-rational, mythical thought has in fact played a critical role in post-Enlightenment intellectual history. Modernists in philosophy and literature have used the depictive rationality of myth to disclose, in self-reflective ways, the limits of discursive sense-making in various domains of human experience. In so doing, they have effectively furthered, without resort to analytical abstractions, the epistemological critique of reason begun during the Enlightenment. Stambovsky illustrates four widely diverse examples of this critical form of mythical thinking in works by Kierkegaard, Miguel de Unamuno, Henry James, and Margaret Atwood. The selected texts focus respectively on religious, national-cultural, psychosocial, and psychobiological realms of experience. These illustrations follow an inquiry into why the very possibility of critical, mythically inventive (mythopoetic) reflection is unsatisfactorily explained by leading rationalist accounts of myth. It is with this problem in mind that Stambovsky begins his monograph with observations on the origins of rationalist and counter-rationalist conceptualizations of myth in the fragments of Xenophanes (the father of rationalist mythology) and in Plato's Phaedrus. Of pivotal import is the early rationalist discrimination of mythos from logos and its epistemological implications (the rationalist legacy) in the history of the idea of myth. Following his look at paradigmatic classical precedents, Stambovsky traces the influence of the rationalist legacy in the myth theory of Malinowski, Lévi-Strauss, Cassirer, Ricoeur, and Blumenberg. The aim is to reveal how this influence in different ways limits these theories as instruments for detecting and explaining the seminal critical and historical significance of modern mythopoeia. This study will be of particular interest to teachers and students of myth theory in departments of philosophy, religion, literature, and cultural anthropology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eric Voegelin is credited with being one of the most influential and profound philosophers of our time. However, a crucial element of his writings - his analysis of the essential mysteries of existence and the function of myth as the symbolic form that effectively communicates those mysteries - remains an area of his thought that has yet to be fully explored. In Mystery and Myth, Glenn Hughes presents this basic element of Voegelin's philosophy in a text that aims to be an introduction to Voegelin's work and a resource for students seeking an account of the fundamental principles of his thought.

Book excerpt: How modern philosophers use and perpetuate myths about prehistoryThe state of nature, the origin of property, the origin of government, the primordial nature of inequality and war why do political philosophers talk so much about the Stone Age? And are they talking about a Stone Age that really happened, or is it just a convenient thought experiment to illustrate their points?Karl Widerquist and Grant S. McCall take a philosophical look at the origin of civilisation, examining political theories to show how claims about prehistory are used. Drawing on the best available evidence from archaeology and anthropology, they show that much of what we think we know about human origins comes from philosophers imagination, not scientific investigation.Key FeaturesShows how modern political theories employ ambiguous factual claims about prehistoryBrings archaeological and anthropological evidence to bear on those claimsTells the story of human origins in a way that reveals many commonly held misconceptions

Download or read book Primitive Culture written by Edward Burnett Tylor and published by . This book was released on 1871 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tylor's ideology is best described in his most famous work, the two-volume Primitive Culture. The first volume, The Origins of Culture, deals with various aspects of ethnography including social evolution, linguistics, and myth. The second volume, titled Religion in Primitive Culture, deals mainly with his interpretation of animism. On the first page of Primitive Culture, Tylor provides an all-inclusive definition which is one of his most widely recognized contributions to anthropology: "Culture, or civilization, taken in its broad, ethnographic sense, is that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society." Primitive Culture remained the pinnacle of Tylor's career, important not only for its thorough study of human civilization and contributions to the emergent field of anthropology, but also for its undeniable influence on a handful of young scholars.

This book was released on 2022-05-15 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of writing this book is MYTHOLOGY, PHILOSOPHY, and Science. Book for the New Generations. Volume I is about a slight breakthrough as an expansion project of Physics-values. As a bio-intelligent species, in general, we have the limitation of directly accessing the frame of objects and objectual items like matters, materials, and the Materialistic groups shaped from diversifying grades of energies as a unit-value sack-of-energy or their union as mass-state energy. Clinching and respecting the esteemed formula E = mc^2, which defined the equivalence relationship with deferentially shaped Mass-energy. And hailing the highest degree of intelligent scientist through whom Energy-God introduced this formula E=mc^2 as a complete hidden pack of all differential-values works of objects, keeping the position of E = Energy - God a universally constant in the Universe. I intend to place a new Idea about the birth of the Universe from the True-Singularity position of the Supreme - Universe. Besides, in the viewpoint of energy minimum way attempted to convince our position as bio-species in this adaptable nature surviving in support of bio-grade energy sources, somehow someway connected throughout the distant alien species in different Consmical - Universes, and even the Universe. The supreme energy, or say Pure-energy is an inexhaustible state cohesion represented with composites containments. Like energy - elements and intrinsical elemental - values that all are at inert-state in the Supreme - universe From the viewpoint of the object/s say, all the infinite numbers of diversifying properties of energy components like energy elements and their working essence as elemental-value in a unit-value pure-energy completely at an absolute null position in every aspect differential way justifying ideologies. Accordingly, an imaginable unit-value Pure-energy presumed as Absoluteness-status and the Supreme - Universe is State-of-Absoluteness. The Supreme - Universe is the creator of our Universe. So, the Universe is an offspring of the Supreme – universe, a great-great Grandmom of all objects and objectual-products persistently appearing and seemingly disappearing in the matured 2nd-energy-belt of the Universe. The Universe is restraining as an unconditional buoyant state with ever-fixedness at a particular spatial point in the crammed of pure - energies in the Supreme - Universe. A little elaboration about the hidden treasure of the highly respected formula E = mc^2: - The E=mc2 = mass * area to the power square = a framework of matter as energy-mass = energy components as a unit-value frame of the matter or material product that acknowledges by the bio-Intelligent system. Accordingly, if endeavor expands that idea entirely for the matured Universe and the observable and non-observable Cosmical-universes in the 2nd-energy-belt, it may widen the bio-earthly way of defining limited areas of physics and physics-value. By keeping the Energy or Energy-God as a Universal-Constant position including its components infinite amount of Energy elements intact. Like: - E = Energy = Energy-God Ξ “Unit/s of Sack-of-Energy containing with Energy – elements” + “Inherent essence of Elemental – values as a frame." Ξ “Objects and objectual-products may consider as mass-energy covered some areas under the flagship of Zero-status-stable position or predisposing-constancy”. Further, attempt to convince to equate with intellectually presented Physics and Physics-values by borrowing a mathematical symbol that is = and say: - (Energy-element) = (physics), and (elemental-value) = (physics-value). So, from the viewpoint of energy. All accessible and inaccessible works of energies and their progenies as object/s have equivalent relations throughout the matured 2nd-energy-belt.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[An] important essay by a philosopher who more convincingly than any other I can think of demonstrates the continuing significance of his vocation in the life of our culture."—Karsten Harries, The New York Times Book Review With The Presence of Myth, Kolakowski demonstrates that no matter how hard man strives for purely rational thought, there has always been-and always will be-a reservoir of mythical images that lend "being" and "consciousness" a specifically human meaning. "Kolakowski undertakes a philosophy of culture which extends to all realms of human intercourse—intellectual, artistic, scientific, and emotional. . . . [His] book has real significance for today, and may well become a classic in the philosophy of culture."—Anglican Theological Review
