Philosophers' Secret Fire, the

Mr. Harpur links together fields as far apart as Greek philosophy and depth psychology, Renaissance magic and tribal ritual, Romantic poetry and the ecstasy of the shaman, to trace how societies over time have used myths to make sense of the world. Harpur leads us through history's secret chambers with such grace of language and insight that we forget the hour.... I would make Harpur's book required reading for every student of philosophy, depth psychology, and history. --Dianne Skafte

Domnul Harpur leaga domenii la fel de indepartate ca filosofia greaca si psihologia profunzimii, magia renascentista si ritualul tribal, poezia romantica si extazul samanului, pentru a urmari modul in care societatile de-a lungul timpului au folosit miturile pentru a intelege lumea.
