Discussion Post: Theories of Myth
a) Are myths just "primitive science" to explain the things we do not know? Do they exist to validate the social order? Are they products of the human mind, repressed conflict, or a collective consciousness?
b) Which theories make sense to you? Try to think carefully about the myths of your own society (hard to do because they are your "sacred truths") and consider their social purpose.
