A Philosophy of Political Myth

Exploring the interplay between myth and politics, Chiara Bottici presents a philosophical framework that positions myth as a dynamic process essential for human significance. She argues that political myths shape our understanding and emotional engagement with the political landscape, particularly in the context of contemporary global conflicts. Bottici advocates for a transformative approach to political philosophy, suggesting that to preserve reason, we must reconsider it through the lens of myth, enabling a deeper comprehension of modern challenges.
