Why have people from different cultures and eras formulated myths
and stories with similar structures? What does this similarity tell
us about the mind, morality, and the structure of the world itself?
"Maps of Meaning" offers a provocative new hypothesis that explores
the connection between what modern neuropsychology tells us about
the brain and what rituals, myths and religious stories have long
narrated. Drawing insights from the worlds of neuropsychology,
cognitive science, and Freudian and Jungian approaches to mythology
and narrative, Jordan B. Peterson argues that myths and religious
stories have a structure determined by the nature of the mind, and
play a key role in the regulation of human emotions.
Ambitious in scope and daring in its exploration of ideas, "Maps of
Meaning" presents a rich theory that makes the wisdom and meaning
of myth accessible to the critical modern mind.
