ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief by Jordan B. Peterson delves into the fundamental structures underlying human belief systems and cultural narratives. The book explores how individuals and societies create and maintain their understanding of the world through shared maps of meaning. It examines the crucial role of myth, from ancient cosmogonies to contemporary stories, in categorizing experience and transmitting essential knowledge across generations. The emergence of the unexpected, or anomaly, and the responses to it are central to the narrative, highlighting the dynamic interplay between the known and the unknown. Recurring archetypal figures and their enduring significance in navigating this complex landscape are also analyzed.
