The Two and the One

Originally in French, Editions Gallimard 1962, Mephistopheles et l'Androgyne, this is a study of the religous & mystical in a comparative & sociological light. He pays particular attention to commonalities, symbols & the function of myth. This is an important work for the analysis of the coincidentia oppositorum, the coincidence of opposites, or binary oppositions in the history of religious ideas. Androgyny is explored as are cosmogony & eschatology, the birth & death of the cosmos or worldview
