This book contains fifteen essays all seeking to regain the original meaning of philosophy as the love of wisdom. 'Mythos' and 'Logos' are two essential aspects of a quest that began with the ancient Greeks. As concepts fundamental to human experience, 'Mythos' and 'Logos' continue to guide the search for truth in the twenty-first century.
