Myth and Modernism: Where'd Comparative Mythology Come from Anyway?
We'd love to hear from you. Click here to send us a text.
Join hosts Karen Foglesong and Erin Branham as we discuss the origins of the field of comparative mythology, from Frazier's Golden Bough to post-modernist critiques of Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell. We explore how modernist and post-modernist ideas have impacted the study of the world's religions, mythologies and philosophies and what it means for spiritual seekers in the West today as we try to avoid the colonialist mistakes of the past.
