(4.1) | 14 | Explore the power of myth as it flowered in AsiaIn this second volume of The Masks of God--Joseph Campbell's major work of comparative mythology--the preeminent mythologist looks at Asian mythology as it developed over the course of five thousand years into the distinctive religions of Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, China, and Japan.The Masks of God is a four-volume study of world religion and myth that stands as one of Joseph Campbell's masterworks. On completing it, he wrote: "Its main result for me has been the confirmation of a thought I have long and faithfully entertained: of the unity of the race of man, not only in its biology, but also in its spiritual history, which has everywhere unfolded in the manner of a single symphony, with its themes announced, developed, amplified and turned about, distorted, reasserted, and today, in a grand fortissimo of all sections sounding together, irresistibly advancing to some kind of mighty climax, out of which the next great movement will emerge."… (mere) |

Første ord |
Oplysninger fra den engelske Almen Viden Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk. The myth of eternal return, which is still basic to Oriental life, displays an order of fixed forms that appear and reappear through all time. | |

Oplysninger fra den engelske Almen Viden Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk. The old doctrine of Egypt of the Secret of the Two Partners, the Mahayana of Voidness, Mutual Arising and the Flower Wreath, the Taoist of the complementarity of yang and yin, the Chinese Communist of interpermeation, and the Tantric lore of the presence within each being of all the gods and demons of all the storied heavens and hells: these, it would seem, variously turned and phrased, represent the one timeless doctrine of eternal life—the nectar of the fruit of the tree in the garden that Western man, or at least a notable number of his company, failed to eat.
