Myth and Meaning

Syrian thinker and researcher Firas Al-Sawa'h presents in "Myth and Meaning" (published by Dar Al-Takween for Authoring, Translation, and Publishing) a high-level critical and mythological study probing the symbolic structure of mythological discourse. The book dives into analyzing the nature of myth as the language of the human mind at the dawn of history, showing how symbols and sacred narratives provided early answers to major dilemmas: Where did we come from? Where are we going? And what is the purpose of existence? The author illustrates in a sober philosophical style the difference between mythological thinking and modern scientific thinking, emphasizing that myth was not a mental disability but a comprehensive and fertile vision of the cosmos integrating human emotion, imagination, and intuition. Through an eloquent literary style combining scholarly precision with philosophical depth, Al-Sawa'h places the reader before an enjoyable journey to rediscover the meaning hidden behind past symbols.

Because it reconstructs our understanding of myth as an ancient human tool for creating meaning, simplifying how ancient tales harbor the deepest psychological and existential truths.

For philosophy, mythology, and analytical psychology enthusiasts, human thought structure researchers, and anyone passionate about discovering the secrets of meaning deep within historical symbols.
