Cedron, Janet Blenkinship and the Online Distributed Proofreaders Europe at http://dp.rastko.net "Myth and Science" by Tito Vignoli is a philosophical essay written in the late 19th century. The work examines the interplay between myth and science, seeking to explore the origins of mythological thought and its psychological underpinnings. Vignoli investigates how myth emerged as a fundamental aspect of human consciousness, extending beyond mere tales and superstitions to reveal deeper insights into our understanding of the world. The opening of the essay outlines the author’s perspective on myth as an intrinsic faculty of the human mind that shapes our interpretation of experiences and phenomena. Vignoli emphasizes that myths are not relics of a barbarous past but are relevant components of human intellectual processes that continue to coexist with scientific reasoning. He argues that both mythical and scientific faculties are reflections of humanity's inherent need to understand and personify the world, which he intends to dissect further throughout the essay. The author sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of psychical elements influencing myth-making across cultures and individuals, suggesting that this study will elucidate the foundational aspects of human thought and behavior.
