[EAN: 9780192803474], Gebraucht, wie neu, [SC: 4.5], [PU: Oxford : Oxford University Press], 163 p., ill. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Allover very good and clean. - Robert A. Segal introduces the reader to the array of approaches to the study of myth that have arisen in the past few hundred years. These-approaches hail from the disciplines of anthropology, sociology, psychology, literary criticism, philosophy, and religious studies. What unites them are the questions they ask: what is the origin, what is the function, and what is the subject matter of myth? The theories differ in their answers to these questions, and even in which questions they emphasize. The theorists covered include Tylor, Frazer, Malinowski, Eliade, Levi-Strauss, Freud, Jung, Frye, and Girard. Segal tests them all by their applicability to the famous ancient myth of Adonis. The result is a succinct, comprehensive, and readable survey and assessment of the subject. Robert A. Segal is Professor of Theories of Religion at the University of Lancaster, where he has been teaching since emigrating to the UK from the US in 1994. His books include Theorizing About Myth (1999) and Joseph Campbell (new edition forthcoming from Oxford). He has edited The Gnostic Jung (1992), The Myth and Ritual Theory (1998), Hero Myths (2000), and The Handbook of Myth Theory (forthcoming from Oxford).

A survey of the past 300 years of theorizing on myth, this book takes into account the work of such prominent thinkers as Albert Camus, Claude Levi-Strauss, C. G. Jung, and Sigmund Freud. It focuses on different approaches to myth, from all of the major disciplines--including science, religion, philosophy, literature, and psychology. Robert Segal considers the future study of myth, and the possible function of myth in the world as the adult equivalent of play. In order to analyze the different theories of myth, Segal focuses on the fable concerning the fate of the preternaturally beautiful Adonis. Where one theory does not work, he substitutes another myth, showing that, for all their claims to all-inclusiveness, certain theories, in fact, only apply to specific kinds of myths. A uniform set of questions is provided to elucidate both the strengths and the weaknesses of the conjectures. Media > Book, [PU: Oxford University Press]<
