Myth is an aspect of the human experience that informs a large portion of our behavioral response and creative output. The complex delivery of the story based way of life that aligns both the society and individual in optimal encounter with an agreed upon world view. In this essay I explore Joseph Campbell’s conception of Aesthetics which are heavily influenced by the Irish novelist James Joyce who in turn is interpreting the aesthetic philosophy of Aquinas.
