Description
Gard Jameson’s Phaethon is, as the subtitle conveys it, “a story for our mythic moment.” Jameson explores the universe and the world of life with a distinctive perspective, which starts from the myths and poetry of classic antiquity and reaches” the body, the mind, the heart, and the soul” in four successive chapters full of inspiration and lyricism. This is a book like no other that I know of, where meaning and purpose emerge from a consideration of our cultural history while seeking an understanding of the “sublime beauty and exalted goodness” of the universe – Francisco J. Ayala
