Overview: An Oriental institute essay. "Contains lectures given as a public course in the Division of the humanities of the University of Chicago."--Preface The people in ancient times the phenomenal world was teeming with life; the thunderclap, the sudden shadow, the unknown & eerie clearing in the wood, all were living things. This unabridged edition traces the fascinating history of thought from the prescientific, personal concept of a "humanized" world to the achievement of detached intellectual reasoning. The authors describe & analyze the spiritual life of three ancient civilizations: the Egyptians, whose thinking was profoundly influenced by the daily rebirth of the sun & the annual rebirth of the Nile; the Mesopotamians, who believed the stars, moon & stones were all citizens of a cosmic state; & the Hebrews, who transcended prevailing mythopoeic thought with their cosmogony of the will of God. In the concluding chapter the Frankforts show that the Greeks, with their intellectual courage, were the first culture to discover a realm of speculative thought in which myth was overcome.PrefaceIntroduction: Myth & reality, by H. & H.A.

It was adequate. The prose was competent, yet the characters lacked the depth I usually seek. Perhaps more aligned with a different audience's tastes.

I find myself somewhat conflicted. The tempo was somewhat languid, and I found my mind wandering. Not poor, simply average. Perhaps more aligned with a different audience's tastes.
