Why the World Doesn't End: Tales of Renewal in Times of Loss

Michael Meade
4.9/5 (23247 ratings)
Description:Starting with the sense that the contemporary world is uncertain and fragmented, troubled with tragedy and fraught with inauthenticity, mythologist Meade seeks for hints of renewal amidst the rattling and the rubble. At a time when people expect the world to come to an end because of global warming or nuclear nightmares, at the hand of wrathful deities or the prediction of ancient calendars, Meade offers surprising tales of renewal as well as an in-depth treatise on the psychology and mythology of the end of an era. In place of simple apocalyptic scenarios, the author follows a knowing thread back to ancient notions of apocalypsis as a liminal period marking the passage between one era and the next. Apocalypsis involves eruptions in nature and disruptions of culture, but also makes possible revelations of a unifying principle and guiding force in each life. Apocalypsis uncovers the hidden unity that connects all of life; but only after the surface of life cracks and the expected patterns fail. He describes a time of indeterminate length when people face the choice of assisting with the renewal of the world or falling under the spell of collective anxieties and doomsday predictions.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
