Synopsis
It is often said that Greek civilization underwent a transition from myth to reason. But what does this assertion mean? Is it true? Were the Greeks special in having evolved our sort of reason, or is that a mirage? In this book, some of the world's leading experts on ancient Greek myth, religion, philosophy, and history reconsider these fundamental issues.

It has often been asserted that Greek civilization underwent a transition from myth to reason. But what does such an assertion mean? And how much truth is there in it? Were the Greeks special in having evolved 'our' sort of reason, or is that a mirage? In this book, some of the world's leading experts on Ancient Greek myth, religion, philosophy, and history reconsider these fundamental issues. Among the problems they explore are; intersections involving myth/philosophy, the history of the Mythos/Logos opposition; myth and reason in practice; logic(s) of myth; intersections involving myth/philosophy, myth/history, myth ethnography, and more spectacle than others about whether the myth/reason clarity has any future as a tool for the understanding of Greek society- or any society. But what they all agree on is that a reconsideration of the Greek case can help us to clarify much broader debates, for example the debate about the cross-cultural viability (or not) of concepts of myth and reason/rationality. This wide-ranging but coherent exploration of a theme should prove of value to scholars and graduate students in the fields of Hellenic studies, ancient philosophy, ancient history, anthropology, and sociology.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. It has often been asserted that Greek civilization underwent a transition from myth to reason. But what does such an assertion mean? And how much truth is there in it? Were the Greeks special in having evolved our sort of reason, or is that a mirage?In this book, some of the world's leading experts on ancient Greek myth, religion, philosophy, and history reconsider these fundamental issues. Among the problems they explore are: thehistory of the Mythos/Logos opposition; myth and reason in practice; logic(s) of myth; intersections involving myth/philosophy, myth/history, myth/ethnography, and myth/technology. Some contributors aremore sceptical than others about whether the myth/reason polarity has any future as a tool for the understanding of Greek society - or any society. But what they all agree on is that a reconsideration of the Greek case can help us to clarify much broader debates, for example the debate about the cross-cultural viability (or not) of myth and reason/rationality. It is often said that Greek civilization underwent a transition from myth to reason. But what does this assertion mean? In this book, leading experts on ancient Greece explore whether it is possible to maintain a distinction between myth, on the one hand, and philosophy, history, or technology, on the other.
