The Inner Reaches of Outer Space: Metaphor as Myth and as Religion Audiobook (Free)

In this work, beloved mythologist Joseph Campbell explores the Space Age. He posits that this newly discovered laws of space are actually within us aswell, and a fresh mythology is definitely implicit in that realization. But what is this new mythology? How do we understand it? Campbell explores these queries in the concluding essay, “The Way of Artwork,” in which he demonstrates that metaphor may be the language of artwork and argues that within the psyches of today’s performers are the seed products of tomorrow’s mythologies.

Campbell writes in his introduction: “My desire and great enjoyment in the planning of this small volume has been as making a return present towards the Graces for the transforming insights of these modern times, which…we’ve been testing out inside a broadly shared religious adventure.”
