In this book, originally published in 2007, Chiara Bottici argues
for a philosophical understanding of political myth. Bottici
demonstrates that myth is a process, one of continuous work on a
basic narrative pattern that responds to a need for significance.
Human beings need meaning in order to master the world they live
in, but they also need significance in order to live in a world
that is less indifferent to them. This is particularly true in the
realm of politics. Political myths are narratives through which we
orient ourselves, and act and feel about our political world.
Bottici shows that in order to come to terms with contemporary
phenomena, such as the clash between civilizations, we need a
Copernican revolution in political philosophy. If we want to save
reason, we need to look at it from the standpoint of myth.
