Summary: From myth symbols to temporal terms in spiritual thinking
Comment: Joseph Campbell's Flight Of The Wild Gander provides selected essays by the author, which cover mythological explorations from 1944-68. From myth symbols to temporal terms in spiritual thinking, this provides many intriguing insights.

Rating: 5
Summary: Myriad-Minded Mythologist!
Comment: This is Joseph Campbell at his most wide-ranging--from intense academic essays like his foreword to the Grimm Bothers' Tales to philosophical explorations of the place of myth in today's world like "Secularization of the Sacred" and "Symbol without Meaning." My favorite essay in the collection is "Bios and Mythos", where Campbell goes into the question of the biological basis for spiritual thought. Really mindblowing stuff!

Summary: Terrific reissue of a classic.
Comment: This is one of my favorite JC books. The essays in this book stand up to the test of time, albeit not THAT long ago. Campbell was a romantic Jungian and Neumannian, but he took their work, and Zimmer's to greater heights and broader sights. This book is just lovely-- a treasure-filled collection of comparative mythology and psychological insight. Definitely one of Campbell's best.
It was so hard to find, I pleased that it has been reissued.
