More about the book

Exploring the convergence of voices across cultures, this work delves into how myths serve as tools for understanding the universe's fundamental nature. The authors emphasize that interpretations of myths evolve with changing circumstances, influenced by interactions between Western and non-Western cultures and significant events. They argue that the flow of experiences, rather than the events themselves, is essential for modeling human sociality, highlighting the dynamic interplay of societal beliefs and contexts throughout history.
