Sinossi
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, Frazier, Malinowski, Eliade, Levi-Strauss, Freud, Jung, Frye, and Girard. Segal tests them all by their applicability to the famous ancient myth of Adonis.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. This book is not about myths, but about approaches to myth, from all of the major disciplines, including science, religion, philosophy, literature, and psychology. The fate of the preternaturally beautiful Adonis is one of the main fables upon which Segal focuses, in an attempt to analyse the various different theories of myth. Where the 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. 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, Roland Barthes, C. G. Jung, and Sigmund Freud. Finally, Segal considers the future study of myth, and the possible function of myth in the world as the adult equivalent of play.
