Sublime Myth Makes Grotesque History is a book written by Alvin Boyd Kuhn, exploring the idea that myths have played a crucial role in shaping human history. Kuhn argues that myths are not just fanciful stories, but rather they represent the collective unconscious of a society and reveal deep truths about the human experience.Kuhn examines various myths from different cultures and time periods, including ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Christian myths. He shows how these myths have influenced the way people think and act, and how they have been used to justify political and social systems.The book also delves into the concept of the sublime, which Kuhn defines as the experience of encountering something that is both awe-inspiring and terrifying. He argues that the sublime is a crucial element in many myths, and that it is a way for people to confront the mysteries of existence.Overall, Sublime Myth Makes Grotesque History is a thought-provoking exploration of the power of myths to shape human history and culture. It offers a unique perspective on the role of mythology in our lives and invites readers to reconsider the stories we tell ourselves about the world around us.THIS 50 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Who is this King of Glory?, by Alvin Boyd Kuhn.
