Me and Joseph Campbell go way back. Been reading mythologies since I was a young'un. and compared Haley's Journey to Campbell's the Hereo's Journey long ago on IDF,
then again at HF's
(We also studied him in literature)
It's just I never thought of him as a 'philosopher' until I had that discussion with my friend.
BTW on the one hand, I tend to believe in 'fate' or determinism, on the other, I would like to believe there is always choice, You determine your path, your life is what YOU make it.
So it's a conflict for me
