Often overlooked in accounts of how we think about ourselves and others, Richard Kearney skilfully shows, with the help of vivid examples and illustrations, how the human outlook on the world is formed by the mysterious triumvirate of strangers, gods and monsters.\u003cbr\u003eThroughout, Richard Kearney shows how\u003cem\u003e Strangers, Gods and Monsters\u003c\/em\u003e do not merely reside in myths or fantasies but constitute a central part of our cultural unconscious. Above all, he argues that until we understand better that the Other resides deep within ourselves, we can have little hope of understanding how our most basic fears and desires manifest themselves in the external world and how we can learn to live with them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Kearney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415272580\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415272582\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/12\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.72h x 6.74w x 0.57d","brand":"Richard Kearney","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980931596543,"sku":"9780415272582","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9d10b530-0aaf-4e3b-85af-5e210b064b61.jpg?v=1683252730","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/strangers-gods-and-monsters-richard-kearney-9780415272582","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
