Text of Note

"Myth and Philosophy is more than an interpretive study, inspired by Nietzsche and Heidegger, of the historical relationship between myth and philosophy in ancient Greece. Its conclusions go beyond the historical case study and amount to a defense of the intelligibility of myth against an exclusively 'rational' or 'objective' view of the world." "Hatab pleads for a pluralistic notion of truth, one which permits different forms of understanding and surrenders the supposed need for a uniform or even hierarchical conception of truth." "The historical displacement of myth by philosophy in ancient Greece is Hatab's point of departure. Rationality and science emerged as the revolutionary overthrow of myth -- but that revolution is not beyond criticism, for myth presents a meaningful expression of the world, different from, and not always commensurate with, the kind of understanding sought by philosophers. The notion that philosophy has corrected the ignorance of the past is unwarranted; furthermore, philosophy continues to exhibit elements of the mythic world from which it emerged." "Myth and Philosophy offers a general analysis of myth and a specific analysis of Greek myth. Hatab distinguishes the different senses of truth found in mytho-poetic and rational-scientific disclosures, and presents an original treatment of Plato and Aristotle, challenging their criticisms of traditional myth.
