Описание: The third volume in Campbell's monumental four-volume series, The Masks of God, traces the mythological underpinnings of Western religion: the shift from female-centered to male-dominated mythology
Once upon a time in the West, the focal figure of all mythology and worship was the bountiful Goddess Earth. She reigned supreme as the mother and nourisher of life and as the receiver of the dead for rebirth. How, when, and why did this change? As Campbell here elucidates, She was more than a symbol of fertility; she was "a metaphysical symbol: the arch personification of the power of Space, Time, and Matter, within whose bound all beings arise and die."
Campbell shows how the mythologies of the goddess were radically transformed, reinterpreted, and in large measure suppressed "by those suddenly intrusive patriarchal warrior tribesmen whose traditions have come down to us chiefly in the Old and New Testaments and in the myths of Greece."
Campbell goes on to describe the mythological underpinnings of Western religion -- Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Zoroastrianism -- and their historical influence on one another. No one who cares about history, mythology, or past or current events in the lands from whence we came can do without this venerable yet remarkably contemporary analysis.

Описание: The second volume in Joseph Campbell's monumental four-volume Masks of God series explores Asian mythology and its evolution into the distinctive religions of Egypt, India, China, and Japan. This Collected Works of Joseph Campbell edition has been revised with up-to-date science and new illustrations.
In this legendary exploration of Asian mythology, Joseph Campbell delves into the underlying myths and folkloric traditions that evolved into the great philosophies of the Egyptians and Sumerians, as well as the distinctive religions of India, China, and Japan, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Shintoism. Oriental Mythology was originally published in 1962 as the second volume of Campbell's monumental four-volume series The Masks of God. On completing the series, Campbell wrote, "Its main result for me has been the confirmation of a thought I have long and faithfully entertained: of the unity of man, not only in its biology, but also in its spiritual history, which has everywhere unfolded in the manner of a single symphony . . . irresistibly advancing to some kind of mighty climax, out of which the next great movement will emerge." Oriental Mythology remains mesmerizing in its eloquence, its scope, and its tantalizing vision of what may next emerge. This new hardcover edition, which joins The Collected Works of Joseph Campbell, features up-to-date archaeological, anthropological, and psychological information, as well as forty new or improved illustrations.
