The Inner Reaches of Outer Space ; Metaphor as Myth and as Religion
Campbell, Joseph
California: New World Library, 2002 [148pps] Originally published in 1986, 'The Inner Reaches of Outer Space' was the last book Joseph Campbell completed before his death. Campbell developed the book from a series of lectures he delivered in San Fransisco. Campbell explores the Space Age, and posits that the newly discovered laws of outer space are within us as well, and that a new mythology is implicit in that realization. But what is this new mythology? Campbell explores these questions in the concluding essay, "The Way of Art", where he demonstrates that metaphor is the language of art and argues that within the psyches of today's artists are the seeds of tomorrow's mythologies. Also included in this wide-ranging collection are Campbell's thoughts on mythology as a function of biology in "Myth and the Body" and his series of essays, "Metaphor as Myth and as Religion", where he presented for the first time a fundamental summary of his pioneering work in mythology and comparative religion.. First Thus/First Printing. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. ( more information) Offered by Tom Thumb Books (Australia)
