Myths, Dreams, and Religion (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780882141978)

Here are extraordinary companions of metaphor and myth. Joseph Campbell compares the functions of mythology and art in "experiencing the mystery dimension of man's being"; Alan Watts lays out our primary Western myths, goading us toward their transformations; Norman O. Brown aphoristically catches Daphne in flight; David Miller presents Orestes, plagued by conflicting gods, as a modern model; Ira Progoff enters the films of Bergman as waking dreams. Owen Barfield on philosophical double vision, Stanley Hopper on the crisis of imagination. Essays by Rollo May, Richard Underwood, Amos Wilder, and John Priest further interlace myth, dream, poetry, philosophy and psychoanalysis, going to the roots of religious feeling in the soul of modern thought. Edited by Joseph Campbell. Fourth, revised edition 2025.
