Historical-Critical Introduction to the Philosophy of Mythology

A fascinating but challenging book to read. I don't think I can do it justice to try and explain it in a review, it is perhaps one of the densest things I have tackled in recent memory. Schelling moves deftly in an inter-disciplinary and wholistic fashion though seemingly the entirety of the fundamental considerations of Mythology writ large. While today we might see some of his assumptions and determinations as outdated and ultimately unsupported, as a whole it is surely a strong and durable piece of philosophy, one that must be reckoned with by any scholar of mythology and the history of religion looking for philosophical grounding in their studies.
