Work on Myth is in five parts. The first two analyze the characteristics of myth and the stages in the West's work on myth, including long discussions of such authors as Freud, Joyce, Cassirer, and ValÃ(c)ry. The latter three parts present a comprehensive account of the history of the Prometheus myth, from Hesiod and Aeschylus to Gide and Kafka. This section includes a detailed analysis of Goethe's lifelong confrontation with the Prometheus myth, which is a unique synthesis of \"psychobiography\" and history of ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWork on Myth\u003c\/i\u003e is included in the series Studies in Contemporary German Social Thought, edited by Thomas McCarthy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHans Blumenberg, the creator of metaphorology, was one of the most important German philosophers of the latter 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 725\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.52 x 9 x 5.96 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 18, 1988\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47286643392761,"sku":"9780262521338","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/U1B1bGJQSElGMGRIT1VCMjJyaFVKdz09.webp?v=1769107498","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/work-on-myth-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
