But what does such an assertion mean? And how much truth is there in it? Were the Greeks special in having evolved our sort of reason, or is that a mirage? In this book, some of the world's leading experts on ancient Greek myth, religion, philosophy, and history reconsider these fundamental issues. Among the problems they explore are: the history of the Mythos/Logos opposition; myth and reason in practice; logic(s) of myth; intersections involving myth/philosophy, myth/history, myth/ethnography, and myth/technology. Some contributors are more sceptical than others about whether the myth/reason polarity has any future as a tool for theunderstanding of Greek society - or any society. But what they all agree on is that a reconsideration of the Greek case can help us to clarify much broader debates, for example the debate about the cross-cultural viability (or not) of myth and reason/rationality., Neu, Festpreisangebot, [LT: FixedPrice], Artikelzustand: Neu, EAN: 9780198152347, Publication Year: 1999, Type: Textbook, Format: Hardcover, Language: English, Book Title: From Myth to Reason?: Studies in the Development of Greek Thought, Item Height: 224mm, Topic: Popular Philosophy, Mythology, Item Width: 144mm, Item Weight: 558g, Number of Pages: 384 Pages, Oxford University Press<
