Man Against Myth is a book written by Barrows Dunham that explores the relationship between man and myth. The book delves into the origins of myth and how it has been used to explain the mysteries of life throughout history. Dunham argues that myths have been used to create a sense of order and purpose in a chaotic world, but that they have also been used to control and manipulate people. He examines the ways in which myth has been used to justify violence and oppression, and how it has been used to perpetuate social hierarchies. The book also explores the role of reason and science in challenging and debunking myths, and the importance of critical thinking in understanding the world around us. Overall, Man Against Myth is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the power of myth in human society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
