In this classic work of scientific and philosophical inquiry, the authors track world myths to a common origin in early man's descriptions of cosmological activity, arguing that these remnants of ancient astronomy, suppressed by the Greeks and Romans and then forgotten, were really a form of pre-literate science. Myth became the synapse by which science was transmitted. Their truly original thesis challenges basic assumptions of Western science and theories about the transmission of knowledge.Country/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityItem Width: 40mmRelease Year: 2015 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
