A Philosophy of Political Myth(ISBN=9780521876551) 下载 网盘 kindle mobi 115盘 pdf pdb rtf

In this book, originally published in 2007, Chiara Bottici

argues for a philosophical understanding of political myth. Bottici

demonstrates that myth is a process, one of continuous work on a

basic narrative pattern that responds to a need for significance.

Human beings need meaning in order to master the world they live

in, but they also need significance in order to live in a world

that is less indifferent to them. This is particularly true in the

realm of politics. Political myths are narratives through which we

orient ourselves, and act and feel about our political world.

Bottici shows that in order to come to terms with contemporary

phenomena, such as the clash between civilizations, we need a

Copernican revolution in political philosophy. If we want to save

reason, we need to look at it from the standpoint of myth.
