Western Myths

This book is a thought-provoking and meticulously researched dissertation that delves into the multifaceted origins of human knowledge. It skillfully navigates the classical, scientific, and Abrahamic narratives that have shaped our understanding of the cosmos and the relationship between the mind, body, and spirit. The author, through a rigorous analysis of these narratives, uncovers a recurring theme of isolation intertwined with materialistic cosmology. The core argument revolves around the depiction of the psyche, mind, soul, or spirit's entrapment within the physical body. Drawing parallels between the symbolic constraints used by both classical and Abrahamic traditions and Aristotle's foundational theory of materialism, the dissertation provides compelling evidence for its central thesis.
