MS 515: Myth and Philosophy
2.00 Credits
Pacifica Graduate Institute
This course examines the historical relationship between myth and philosophy in the West. Rationality and science emerged as the revolutionary critique of myth, but that revolution is not beyond criticism. Myth represents a meaningful expression of the world, different from, and not always comensurate with, the kind of understanding sought by philosophers. The notion that philsophy has corrected the ignorance of the past is challenged while philosophy itself is shown to exhibit elements of the mythic world from which it emerged.
