330 .. $a "To most, myths are merely fantastic stories. But for Luc Brisson, one of the great
living Plato scholars, myth is a key factor in what it means to be human--a condition
of life for all. Essential and inescapable, myth offers a guide for living, forming
the core of belonging and group identity. In 1999 philosopher Louis-Andre Dorion published
a series of conversations with Brisson on the idea of myth. In Making Sense of Myth
Gerard Naddaf offers an extended and updated English translation of these conversations,
as well as a new set of discussions between himself and Brisson. Beginning with his
childhood in the village of Saint-Esprit, Quebec, and continuing through his years
in Paris, first as a graduate student and later at the Centre national de la recherche
scientifique (CNRS), Brisson tells the story of his escape from an all-encompassing
myth--the myth promulgated by the Roman Catholic Church. The philosopher situates
Quebec society as inseparable from the history of the Catholic Church in Quebec, and
argues that this correlation offers a perfect paradigm of myth and mythmaking. Naddaf's
introduction and afterword contextualizes the conversations by discussing Brisson's
and Plato's understanding of the origin and meaning of myth, and elaborates the role
of myth in anthropogeny and in the creation of selfhood. Making Sense of Myth promises
both a philosophy of myth and a philosophy of life, one inspired by Brisson's lifelong
engagement with the great Western philosopher Plato."
