Jeppe Sinding Jensen is Associate Professor in the Study of Religion, University of Aarhus, Denmark. His publications include Rationality and the Study of Religion (Routledge 2002, with Luther H. Martin) and The Study of Religion in a New Key (Aarhus University Press 2003).
In all cultures and at all times, humans have been telling stories about who they were, what the world and human life is about. To the insider, myths may contain Truth (with a capital ‘T’), revelation and the ‘history of ourselves’; whereas to the outsider it may be considered anything from folly and pre-logical mentality, to neurotic, infantile and ‘wishful thinking’.
Such judgements aside, myths tell us about human creativity, the impact of narrativity on human ways of understanding, on cultural epistemologies and the many ways of ‘world making’. These issues also spark considerations concerning the linguistic and philosophical notions of meaning and truth and the peculiarities of religious language.
The controversial issue of myth has been studied from many different angles. In this volume the contributions are edited according to their theoretical perspectives: 1. philosophical, 2. psychological, 3. sociological, 4. semiological and 5. cognitivist, all with introduction by the editor.
This volume will be an indispensable tool for anyone with a serious interest in this field of study.
