Exploration of nine key stories or archetypes the author believes to be at the source of western culture. These include the hero, soul-mate love, the mother, vocation, fate, the genesis of evil, and the nature of charged being. Draws on both their classical versions and modern rebirths. Argues that the spirit of the western world cannot survive without these archetypal stories, which are central to our search for meaning. Includes list of works, notes, bibliography and index. Author is a Reader in Sociology at La Trobe University. Previous titles include 'Humanism' and 'Ego and Soul'.
