Synkretyzm Josepha Campbella

Abstract

Freud's psychoanalysis, classical Adlerian psychology, Jung’s psychology, van Genneps' rites of passage, the Tantra theory as well as the diffusion theory are the main inspirational sources of Joseph Campbell's myth theory. The most important of them being the Tantra theory that according to Campbell contains and transcends all partial descriptions of the human psyche contained in depth psychology. As such, it constitutes the best description of the human psychic condition, symbolically expressed in myths.
