In "Archetypes of Thought, "originally published in 1991 with
the title "Philosophical Grounds, "Thomas Molnar follows seven
basic themes of Western philosophical speculation from their
development in the earliest times of systematic thought through
their evolution through the centuries and civilizations to the
present. Some of the themes are origin and its reflection, guilt of
being, one and the multiple, the temptation of mechanization, and
nocturnal man. The book is neither a chronological treatment of
issues nor a list of philosophical schools and movements. Rather,
it reaches for the archetypes of philosophical reasoning.
Molnar shows the presence of modern themes in the entire history
of thinking, traces technology to the first stirrings of
rationalism, and evinces modern man's feeling of culpability.
Throughout, the soul is perceived as the keeper of God's and man's
secret, one which reflects reality and also tries to organize it
according to an ontologically implanted rhythm.
In his new introduction, Molnar explains and re-examines his
reasons for writing the book. While the themes he covers have been
widely dealt with in contemporary thought, they are brought
together to form an original combination of philosophical concepts.
"Archetypes of Thought "is an intriguing study of the evolution of
philosophical thinking. It is essential reading for both students
and professionals of philosophy, history, and sociology.
