"No one in our century, not Freud, not Jung, not Thomas Mann, not Lévi-Strauss, has so brought a mythic sense of the world back into our daily consciousness." So wrote psychologist James Hillman about Joseph Campbell. Join us as we explore Campbell's mythological studies, which were grounded in depth psychology and shaped by his own life-long search for meaning. Raised in Irish Catholicism, fascinated as a child with Native American lore, and trained in Western classics, Campbell plunged into Asian thought and religion, and searched to understand the grand historical sweeps of human experience. We will follow his career from his monumental synthesis of "the hero's journey‚" to his later effort to define the meaning of spirituality in a contemporary, globally interconnected world.
