What is The Symbol without Meaning (E-Singles) about?
"When the symbol is functioning for engagement, the cognitive faculties are held fascinated by and bound to the symbol itself, and are thus simultaneously informed by and protected from the unknown. But when the symbol is functioning for disengagement, transport, and metamorphosis, it becomes a catapult to be left behind." Joseph Campbell Campbell's famous, mind-expanding essay explores the fundamental connection between myth, symbol, and human culture. In it, he looks at the origins of western culture's myths and symbols, and asks whether these are still relevant in the modern era. This piece, along with classics such as "Mythogenesis," "Bios and Mythos," and Campbell's foreword to Grimms' Fairy Tales , was published as part of the collection The Flight of the Wild Gander (re-issued by New World Library in 2002). This digital edition has been published by Joseph Campbell Foundation.
