MonoCulture: The Salvation of Society
Book information
Description
There’s a story, a very old story that people have been telling for a very long time. It’s in the Bible and it’s one of the oldest stories in the oldest part of the Bible, but it’s even older than that. Much older than that. We know this because this story appears in other peoples’ ancient texts too, some as old or older than the earliest writings that made their way into the Biblical Old Testament. The story is about a heroic man, so heroic that he is proto- or arch- typical, that is to say, he is the transcendent example of what it means to be a heroic man in the world, distilled down to its very essence, as only mythology (and dreams) can do. If you were to take a hundred or a thousand stories of truly heroic men and start sifting out the unessential details, and boiling it down as you discern the same patterns in common across all of these stories, you may end up with something a lot like this ancient narrative.
