"CAMPBELL'S WORDS CARRY EXTRAORDINARY WEIGHT, NOT ONLY AMONG SCHOLARS BUT AMONG A WIDE RANGE OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO FIND HIS RESEARCH DOWN MYTHICAL PATHWAYS RELEVANT TO THEIR LIVES TODAY." (TIME)The Masks of God is the summation of Joseph Campbell's lifelong study of the origins and function of myth. In volume 1 of the series, Primitive Mythology, Campbell examines the primitive roots of spiritual beliefs among our ancient ancestors. Drawing on anthropology, archaeology and psychology Primitive Mythology confirms the fundamental unity of mankind (not only biologically but in shared spiritual history).
The Masks of God traces mankind's history as a search for meaning through the ideas, themes and quests of culture and religion.
