Biography/Organization History Joseph Campbell (1904-1987) was an American mythologist, writer, lecturer and Professor of Literature at Sarah Lawrence College from 1934 to 1972. His work focused on comparative mythology and comparative literature. He was born in 1904 in White Plains, New York and studied at Columbia University, where he received a BA in 1925 and then an MA in Arthurian Studies in 1927. During the years he was on a traveling Fellowship in Europe to continue his studies at the University of Paris (1927-28) and at the University of Munich (1928-29), Campbell was exposed to the modern artists including Pablo Picasso and Paul Klee, the literary works of James Joyce and Thomas Mann, and the psychological work of Sigmund Freud and C.G. Jung. These individuals and their work greatly influenced Campbell’s work, which centered on mythology, literature, and psychology. In 1938 he married one of his students, Jean Erdman, who would become a major presence in the emerging field of modern dance, first as a star dancer in Martha Graham's fledgling troupe and later as dancer and choreographer of her own company. In 1942 Campbell became involved in the Bollingen Foundation through the Indologist Heinrich Zimmer, a colleague of C.G. Jung’s. He contributed an "Introduction and Commentary" to Bollingen’s first publication Where the Two Came to their Father: A Navaho War Ceremonial , text and paintings recorded by Maud Oakes, given by Jeff King (Bollingen Series I: 1943). He would then come to edit and complete four volumes of Zimmer’s posthumous papers: Myths and Symbols in Indian Art and Civilization (Bollingen Series VI: 1946), The King and the Corpse (Bollingen Series XI: 1948), Philosophies of India (Bollingen Series XXVI: 1951), and a two-volume opus, The Art of Indian Asia (Bollingen Series XXXIX: 1955). His first individual and most widely known book was The Hero with a Thousand Faces (Bollingen Series XVII: 1949), which illustrates the theory of the archetypal hero’s journey. Campbell would come to write and edit many books, articles, and essays throughout his prolific career. Other well known publications include the four-volume set of The Masks of God (1959-1968), Myths to Live By (1972), The Mythic Image (1974), and five books in his four-volume, multi-part unfinished Historical Atlas of World Mythology (1983-1989). See the Opus Archives and Research Center website for a bibliography of Campbell’s works. Campbell was also a prolific public lecturer and traveled around the world to many universities and institutions. These include Eranos, Esalen Institute, the Theatre of the Open Eye in New York City, and many others. In 1988, a year after his death, the PBS series Joseph Campbell and The Power of Myth with Bill Moyers was broadcast. The effect of this series upon the culture and the study of mythology and Jungian psychology has been extensive.

  • The Hero's Journey® Program
    The Hero’s Journey® program Thank you for your interest in applying to the Hero’s Journey® program! Below is some important and pretty cool information, which we encourage you to read to gain some insight in to the Hero’s Journey program! What is the Hero’s Journey® program? The Hero’s Journey® program is a seven-day program designed to serve 16-18 year-old adolescents living with serious illness and/or its effects. The program is based on the philosophies of Joseph Campbell, Kurt Hahn, Paul Newman and the Adventure-Based Counseling model (more info below). Program participants encounter a natural setting in the woods, free from the distractions of technology in which they experience group challenges, personal challenges, rites of passage, wilderness first aid training, and search and rescue training. The weeklong journey provides opportunities for participants to act skillfully in the service of others, examine perceived limitations, discover unknown skills they possess, and to take on the role of “the hero of their own story”. Why is it called the Hero’s Journey® program and why is it important? The Hero’s Journey® program gets its name from the experience a “hero” or “heroine” goes through as they embark on a new adventure. This process was philosophized and explained by Joseph Campbell in The Hero with a Thousand Faces written in 1949. Campbell’s research revealed that myths and stories throughout all cultures and across time share one similar theme of a hero’s journey. These stories may have had different characters, settings, and challenges, but the structure never changed.

  • Chapter 3 Quiz What Lead to Joseph Campbell's Interest in Comparative
    Chapter 3 Quiz What lead to Joseph Campbell's interest in comparative mythology? When Campbell was a child, he became fascinated with Native American Culture. This led him to a lifelong passion for myth and storytelling. When Campbell was studying maths and biology, he recognized that he is inclined towards humanities. Soon he became an English literature student at Columbia University. Campbell was interested in knowledge above all else. In 1924 Campbell traveled to Europe with his family. On the ship during his return trip, he encountered the Messiah elect of the Theosophical Society, Jiddu Krishnamurti. They discussed Indian philosophy which leads to Campbell’s interest in Hindu and Indian philosophy. Campbell studied Old French, Provencal and Sanskrit at the University of Paris and the University of Munich in Germany. He learned to read and speak French and German. When Campbell did not have any work after his graduation (in depression era), he used to read nine hours a day for five years. He soon discovered the works of Carl Jung who is the founder of analytical psychology. Campbell could recognize recurring patterns of all the stories he had read, from Carl Jung’s work. This must have encouraged Joseph Campbell in comparative mythology. How did Joseph Campbell become the world's foremost scholar on mythology? How did the Great Depression benefit his education? Joseph Campbell received BA in English literature and MA in Medieval literature from Columbia University. Campbell also received a fellowship from Columbia University to study in Europe. He studied Old French, Provencal and Sanskrit at the University of Paris and the University of Munich in Germany.

  • John Cage's Entanglement with the Ideas Of
    JOHN CAGE’S ENTANGLEMENT WITH THE IDEAS OF COOMARASWAMY Edward James Crooks PhD University of York Music July 2011 John Cage’s Entanglement with the Ideas of Coomaraswamy by Edward Crooks Abstract The American composer John Cage was famous for the expansiveness of his thought. In particular, his borrowings from ‘Oriental philosophy’ have directed the critical and popular reception of his works. But what is the reality of such claims? In the twenty years since his death, Cage scholars have started to discover the significant gap between Cage’s presentation of theories he claimed he borrowed from India, China, and Japan, and the presentation of the same theories in the sources he referenced. The present study delves into the circumstances and contexts of Cage’s Asian influences, specifically as related to Cage’s borrowings from the British-Ceylonese art historian and metaphysician Ananda K. Coomaraswamy. In addition, Cage’s friendship with the Jungian mythologist Joseph Campbell is detailed, as are Cage’s borrowings from the theories of Jung. Particular attention is paid to the conservative ideology integral to the theories of all three thinkers. After a new analysis of the life and work of Coomaraswamy, the investigation focuses on the metaphysics of Coomaraswamy’s philosophy of art. The phrase ‘art is the imitation of nature in her manner of operation’ opens the doors to a wide- ranging exploration of the mimesis of intelligible and sensible forms. Comparing Coomaraswamy’s ‘Traditional’ idealism to Cage’s radical epistemological realism demonstrates the extent of the lack of congruity between the two thinkers. In a second chapter on Coomaraswamy, the extent of the differences between Cage and Coomaraswamy are revealed through investigating their differing approaches to rasa , the Renaissance, tradition, ‘art and life’, and museums.

  • Tantra As Experimental Science in the Works of John Woodroffe
    Julian Strube Tantra as Experimental Science in the Works of John Woodroffe Abstract: John Woodroffe (1865–1936) can be counted among the most influential authors on Indian religious traditions in the twentieth century. He is credited with almost single-handedly founding the academic study of Tantra, for which he served as a main reference well into the 1970s. Up to that point, it is practically impossible to divide his influence between esoteric and academic audiences – in fact, borders between them were almost non-existent. Woodroffe collaborated and exchangedthoughtswithscholarssuchasSylvainLévi,PaulMasson-Oursel,Moriz Winternitz, or Walter Evans-Wentz. His works exerted a significant influence on, among many others, Heinrich Zimmer, Jakob Wilhelm Hauer, Mircea Eliade, Carl Gustav Jung, Agehananda Bharati or Lilian Silburn, as they did on a wide range of esotericists such as Julius Evola. In this light, it is remarkable that Woodroffe did not only distance himself from missionary and orientalist approaches to Tantra, buthealsoidentifiedTantrawithCatholicism and occultism, introducing a univer- salist, traditionalist perspective. This was not simply a “Western” perspective, since Woodroffe echoed Bengali intellectuals who praised Tantra as the most appropriate and authen- tic religious tradition of India. In doing so, they stressed the rational, empiri- cal, scientific nature of Tantra that was allegedly based on practical spiritual experience. As Woodroffe would later do, they identified the practice of Tantra with New Thought, spiritualism, and occultism – sciences that were only re-discovering the ancient truths that had always formed an integral part of “Tantrik occultism.” This chapter situates this claim within the context of global debates about modernity and religion, demonstrating how scholarly approaches to religion did not only parallel, but were inherently intertwined with, occultist discourses.

  • GSV Timeline Fall 2004 Toby Johnson Keynote
    It's Always About You: Joseph Campbell and How to Read a Myth Toby Johnson Gay Spirit Visions Fall Conference, 2004 Well, so I am going to explain what "Inner Fabulosity" means!!! Three ideas come up immediately for me. One's a loose association. One's a political slogan. The other's a "secret meaning." First, the loose association. "Oh Fab, I'm glad, they put real borax in you." I tried to figure out how to make that into a mantra, but no matter what, it doesn't work very well. Borax just isn't a good example of something gay! Mark Weaver When Kip and I were running the gay bookstore in Austin, there was a local anti-gay Christian preacher named Mark Weaver who was offended by the very thought of homosexuality. He was famous for carrying a sign with him wherever he went that said "Gay is not OK" He had a little following, mostly of guilty homosexuals it looked like, who'd carry these signs along with him and they'd picket gay events (and AIDS education seminars -- for which he got sued and driven out of Austin). They used to bring their signs out to Hippie Hollow, the gay nude beach at Lake Travis, about 15 miles outside town. There was a saying that "there is no distance too far for Mark Weaver to go to be offended." We sold a T-shirt at Liberty Books based on Mark Weaver's signs. In black block letters, like his signs, it read: "Gay is Not OK," then in bright pink script below that, it continued "It's fabulous!" So "fabulous" is on the other side of just OK.

  • The Buddha at Eranos
    Journal of Global Buddhism 2021, Vol.22 (1): 1–17 DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.4727549 www.globalbuddhism.org ISSN: 1527-6457 (online) © The author(s) Research Article The Buddha at Eranos Oliver Knox University College London The Eranos conferences between 1933 and 1939 brought together psychologists and scholars of Eastern religions to take part in annual meetings that aspired to provide a “meeting place between East and West” (Hakl 2013: 25). At these meetings a group of international European scholars developed a shared understanding of Buddhist doctrine and meditation that has become widespread, namely, the notion that Buddhism is, first and foremost, a noetic science the principal concern of which is the transformation of human psychology. Their interpretations were the catalyst for the uptake of Buddhism in the American counterculture of the 1950s and 60s that, in turn, spawned a host of psychotherapies seeking to integrate these so-called “Buddhist” practices into their therapeutic systems. Keywords: Buddhism, Psychology, Psychotherapy, Psychoanalysis Buddhism as Psychology: Some Preliminary Remarks n December of 2019, Erik Sand published Imagining the East, in which he outlined how two Buddhas emerged in Europe during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. One was the Buddha of the Theosophists, a teacher of esoteric spiritualism and occultism, a “Mahatma”— IMadame Blavatsky’s term for a “great teacher”—who materialized esoteric texts at will to his initiates. The other Buddha belonged to the Orientalists: a rationalist, atheist, philosopher who promoted secular ethics and scientific method. Needless to say, these two Buddhas were at odds, and, retrospectively, seem to reflect internal debates within nineteenth- and twentieth-century Western society more than the religion they purportedly represented.1 1 The dichotomy implied by Sand and others acts as a helpful explanatory tool.
