Publisher's Synopsis
The Metaphysics of Mythology by James A. Fitz Simon is a comprehensive exploration of the role of mythology in human consciousness and its connection to metaphysical concepts. The book delves into the various mythological traditions from around the world and examines how they reflect the fundamental questions of existence, such as the nature of reality, the purpose of life, and the human condition.Fitz Simon argues that mythology is not simply a collection of fanciful stories, but rather a powerful tool for understanding the deeper truths of the universe. He explores the ways in which myths have been used throughout history to convey important philosophical and spiritual concepts, and how they continue to shape our understanding of the world today.The book also delves into the relationship between mythology and religion, examining the ways in which these two fields intersect and diverge. Fitz Simon argues that while religion is often concerned with the practical aspects of human life, such as morality and social behavior, mythology is more focused on the abstract and metaphysical questions that lie at the heart of human existence.Overall, The Metaphysics of Mythology is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the power and significance of mythological traditions. It offers a fresh perspective on the role of mythology in human consciousness and provides readers with a deeper understanding of the fundamental questions that have fascinated philosophers and thinkers throughout history.THIS 28 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Gods of Old and the Story That They Tell, by James A.
