Description: This is a copy of The Presence of Myth, Leszek Kolakowski, University of Chicago Press, 1989.HCDJ. It is new and in unread condition. It is not a first printing, though it may be a first edition and late printing. I think it was purchased in the 1990s. From the jacket: "Written in 1966, this work first appeared in Polish from a French publisher (1972), due to Poland's continuing censorship. In this extended essay, Lolakowski attempts to show that, no matter how hard man has striven for purely rational thought, and no matter how hard he tries in the future, there always has been and always will be a resevoir of mythical ideas and images. It is in fact this mythical dimension, he argues, that sets human life apart from all other life. It is the essence of human culture and civilization." A wonderful hardbound copy of this classic essay. We carefully pack our books and ship in boxes.
