Features: Reading Jean-Pierre Vernant's Between Myth and Politics is an "intellectual autobiography." The subtle state in which Vernant's narrative and lyrical styles both confront and blend, flatter and reject each other, left a deep impression on me. This book explains the author's views on religious studies, mythology, political movements, and theory, and through this explanation, it reveals the author's intellectual journey in analyzing and thinking within these fields.
