Conclusion : modern myths and mythologies.In all cultures and at all times, humans have told stories about where they came from, who they are and how they should live their lives. 'Myths and Mythologies' brings together the key classic and contemporary writings - philosophical, psychological, sociological, semiological and cognitivist - on myth. To the insider, myths contain truth, revelation and a 'history of ourselves'; to the outsider, a culture s myths can be seen as the product of foolish, infantile and wishful thinking. Myths tell us about specific cultures, about human creativity, and how narrative shapes and reflects understanding. The 'Reader' is an invaluable resource for students and scholars interested in the impact of narrative on human culture and the meaning of truth in religious language.Critical categories in the study of religion.MythMythologyMyth.Mythology.201/.3Jensen Jeppe Sinding1951-1867972MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910955322003321Myths and mythologies4475752UNINA
