The Inner Reaches of Outer Space:
Metaphor as Myth and as Religion by
Joseph Campbell
Campbell At His Best
Developed from a memorable series of lectures delivered in San
Francisco, which included a legendary symposium at the Palace of Fine
Arts with astronaut Rusty Schweickart, Joseph Campbell’s last book
explores the space age. Campbell posits that the newly discovered laws of
outer space are actually at work within human beings as well and that a
new mythology is implicit in this realization. He examines the new
mythology and other questions in these essays which he described as a
broadly shared spiritual adventure.
Personal Review: The Inner Reaches of Outer Space: Metaphor
as Myth and as Religion by Joseph Campbell
Joseph Campbell introduces us to the world of mythology and reality
making the case that for most of human history, they are one in the same.

I give this book 5 stars because it is the best presentation of this type of
information for laymen I have found.
His writings have brought up the argument that what is lacking in America
today is an education in mythology. This is something that would not only
enhance an individuals life by adding value to our culture which is in my
opinion too often dismissed as empty, but also would enhance our
connection with our past and our future.
Joseph Campbell has influenced many people and many creative efforts.
George Lucas credits Mr Campbell with making StarWars a better movie.
In fact Mr Campbell's interviews with Bill Moyers (on many PBS stations)
was taped at Skywalker Ranch. I found this link
indranet.com/welcometoearth having searched for information about Mr
Campbell.
In addition to those seeking anthropological or spiritual information, if you
enjoy magical stories like Harry Potter or science fiction stories then you
will enjoy The Inner Reaches of Outer Space.
