The papers in this volume, which were presented at a lecture series held by the Academy and the University of Gottingen in the 2010 summer term, contain approaches to the merits and boundaries of myths. What constitutes a myth, what is a suitable approach to myths, what was their function in their era?
Die hier versammelte Arbeit am Mythos (Blumenberg) umfasst Beitrage zu Leistung und Grenze von Mythen, die in der Ringvorlesung von Akademie und Universitat Gottingen im Sommersemester 2010 vorgetragen wurden: Was macht Mythen aus, wie kann man sich ihnen adaquat annahern, was konnen sie fur ihre Zeit leisten? Den Auftakt bilden systematische Beitrage zur Mythosforschung aus Philosophie, Religionswissenschaft und Kulturanthropologie. Es folgen exemplarische Untersuchungen: Von den fruhesten, noch weitgehend unbekannten Schrift- und Bildquellen aus dem Alten Orient, dem Alten Agypten und der griechisch-romischen Antike uber Mythisches im Alten Testament, im spatantiken Christentum und in den arabischen Kulturen bis hin zum heutigen Kurdistan tun sich neue Perspektiven auf die vielschichtigen Phanomene im Kontext von Mythen auf.
