The Delphic Podcasts by Michael R D James, Review of Campbells "Myths to Live By" Season 14 Episode 4

Eastern Mythologies and Religions extend over enormous spans of time and a human life is but a blink of an eye in such a context. Campbell claims that the Western focus on individual freedom and responsibility is a repugnant idea to the Eastern mind. Hindu women immolating themselves because of rigidly defined roles allocated to them by a closed society for the Western mind is equally repugnant and it was the discipline of Philosophy that provided us with the first systematic arguments against miracle and superstitious behaviourhttp://michaelrdjames.orgDelphic Podcast
