>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 24 14:16:48 2018 No.12280616 >>12280603 Honestly, just read The Hero With A Thousand Faces. I bought and read Maps of Meaning and it is just a combination of Joseph Campbell and Freud (and Joseph Campbell was already influenced by Freud)

It's a long ass read and not particularly well-composed. I think you will get a better use of your time reading Joseph Campbell and Mircea Eliade yourself, but JP provides a nice synthesis of psychoanalysis, Jung, Campbell, Eliade, and some other myth writers. Nothing particularly novel in this though.

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 24 19:27:03 2018 No.12281930 >>12281898 This. The guy is out of his depth in anything but psychology. And given the number of citations his work has from other psychologists, he isn’t very deep in his chosen field either.

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 24 19:28:56 2018 No.12281941 >>12281930 He has tons of citations though.

Who's citing him though? Looking through who's citing it it seems like another bunch of garbage

Dont bother anon. I made an extensive argument regarding the relative insignificance of JPs citations and i might as well have chewed my own toes for an hour.

The guru's followers are stupid enough to pick him as a guru. You think theyre smart enough to be swayed by overwhelming evidence of his mediocrity? It wont happen.
