Description

This is the first comprehensive critical analysis of Hans Blumenberg's theory of myth, establishing him as the most significant German theorist of myth in the second half of the twentieth century. Blumenberg's Work on Myth (1979) has profoundly influenced multiple disciplines including literary theory, philosophy, religious studies, anthropology, and the history and philosophy of science. This book introduces English-language readers to Blumenberg's biographical background and philosophical contexts, elucidating his innovative approach to myth by connecting it to three major developments in late twentieth-century thought. The analysis bridges academic silos, demonstrating how Blumenberg's work reshapes understanding of myth across humanities and sciences. Essential reading for scholars and students exploring the intersection of myth, philosophy, and human knowledge.
