Abstract

In modern times, the Neo-Kantian philosophy of Ernst Cassirer is the most significant attempt to construct a philosophy of MYTH as an integral part of the philosophy of RELIGION. His most elaborated definition of MYTH can be found in the second volume of his Philosophy of SYMBOLic Forms. According to this book, MYTH is a SYMBOLic form that maintains unity of the word and being, the signifier and the signified, it yet still retains itself in the developing structure and, by the use of SYMBOLs and signs, it shapes the foundation of RELIGION. MYTH and RELIGION, therefore, represent the fundamental tendency toward SYMBOLic formation. In other words, they constitute the basis of a metaphor that lies at the heart of all forms of SYMBOLic function.This essay surveys the nature of MYTH, the characteristics of MYTHic–religious though and the role of time and place in the development of the MYTHology. It also deals with the relation between LANGUAGE and MYTH and tries to give an account of the interrelationship between MYTH and RELIGION.
