The RZ

Does Humanity Need Religion? - Joseph Campbell's Monomyth and God Building


Listen Later

Today some think that religion is bound to die out, while others think it is essential to what it means to be human. Joseph Campbell's views on the matter from his book, "The Heroes Journey" are discussed with a couple of complementary views. One of these views has the potentially controversial title, "God Building".

One correction. It is said that the discussion is in light of "The Hero's Journey", the book which deals with this is titled, "The Hero With A Thousand Faces" (reference below).
