Descrizione
Mircea Eliade--one of the most renowned expositors of the psychology of religion, mythology & magic--shows that myth & symbol constitute a mode of thought that not only came before that of discursive & logical reasoning, but is still an essential function of human consciousness. He describes & analyzes some of the most powerful & ubiquitous symbols that have ruled the mythological thinking of East & West in many times & at many levels of cultural development.
