Mantha: Alchemies of the Cultural Turn

"Mantha: Alchemies of the One and the Many” is a deeply personal exploration of how we might understand ourselves in the world in the 21st century. It is a quantum-entangled exploration of an astonishing universe of literature including, but hardly limited to, Jung and his followers, alchemy, learning theory, translation studies, creativity and innovation. Warford's ability to create new constellations of meaning across these diverse kinds of knowledge is, ultimately, the point. To navigate our increasingly imperiled world successfully, we must open the doors of our perception and deeply embrace complexity. It is a clarion call for a non-binary weltanschauung of reverberating nuance.

“Mantha: Alchemies of the Cultural Turn” by Mark K. Warford is a profoundly researched and finely focused study concerning the One's potential to relate creatively to the Many. Explorations of key mythological themes, such as Titanism and the Monstrous, and of the dichotomy of creativity and innovation are enriched by timely references to contemporary trends.
