Description

This introductory volume examines the philosophical approaches of Ernst Cassirer and Susanne Langer, two pivotal thinkers who shaped modern myth theory. The book provides a comprehensive overview of their distinctive methods for understanding myth as a fundamental human symbolic form, exploring how both theorists departed from earlier anthropological frameworks to emphasise the cognitive and cultural significance of mythological thought. Part of the Theorists of Myth series, this work bridges classical philosophy and contemporary theory, making their complex ideas accessible to students and scholars. Ideal for those studying philosophy, anthropology, cultural studies, or the history of ideas, it offers essential context for understanding how myth functions in human cognition, culture, and meaning-making across societies.
