## Description

New World Library The Hero with a Thousand Faces : Campbell, Joseph: desertcart.ae: Books

Review: awesome
Review: The collection of stories deconstructed by Campbell weave together what he calls the mono-myth. The mono-myth is the constituents of elements used to construct the fundamental framework for creation stories, literature in general, and theology. For those who are attempting to navigate through a life filled with tragedy and obstacles learning these symbolic representations may give you the inspiration to continue enduring as you undertake the hero’s journey. This book is cited numerous times in respected literature pertaining to sociology, behavioral psychology, and evolutional psychology. For that reason (among many others) it was a MUST read for me. If you are equally enthusiastic about those subject then this book will certainly keep you captivated throughout. I would definitely place this book as a significant piece of work for understanding the primordial mind (emotional mind. The Elephant to the Rider). •SUMMARY• The book takes us through a journey of stories that have been constructed from behavioral patterned observed by a self-conscience organism, humans. We later assigned significance to those patterns, constructing patterns to them. Those patterns then transcended beyond the representations of specific events and evolve into psychological representations for life at a high-level. Like a tarot card or astrology reading that could be broadly applied to nearly everyone, the symbolic representation in these stories are fluid and relevant differently subject to a particular culture. In the prologue, he suggests that our intrinsic desire to connect with our ancestral spirit (which is the lessons encoding into our mind throughout the mind's evolution) is elemental to the nourishment of the success of survival. •PART 1• The call to action engenders the hero to begin his journey beyond his real of comfort and the constraints of society. The hero is introduced to multiple trials and tribulations along the journey. Once the hero is triumphant he passes the threshold and moves onto a new world of knowledge. Upon the end of his voluntary voyage into the unknown, he must invoke his life changing-boon. “The Keys” commentates how the secular perspective towards mythology catalyzes in the removal of its primary utility which is to episodically represent symbolism. The symbolism is the suggested narrative that we act out to tend towards Peterson’s heaven — for example. •PART 2• Campell cites Jung often, especially his main idea of the collective unconscious construction of archetypes and symbols. These symbols can characterize many things but the common elements consist of fear, hope, good, evil, and other fundamental elements for survival observed and encapsulated by the narrative. Emphasis on both the creator’s sexes aspects is depicted by stories and mythology. The sequence of life from the virgin birth to death; mainly, mortality is a quintessential component needed for the exploratory character to become the hero. During the hero’s journey s/he has the ability to become one of the various options: the warrior, the lover, the emperor/tyrant, the world redeemer, or the saint. There are two types of deaths that mythologies describe, the first is personal (microcosm), and the second is universal(macrocosm). The birth, life, thriving and death/parish.
