“Mythic Worlds” by Harold Toliver Reveals New Perspectives on Natural History and Cultural Myths
Retired professor offers a thought-provoking exploration of natural philosophy and literary tradition, challenging enduring misconceptions in his latest book.
“Mythic Worlds and the One You Can Believe In” by Harold Toliver combines philosophy, science, and literature to address the persistent misconceptions that fuel global tensions.
Drawing from natural philosophy, Toliver examines the significance of understanding the 13.8-billion-year natural continuum as a way to disarm sectarian ideologies, which continue to drive nationalism and extremism. The book critiques long-standing beliefs incompatible with natural history, inviting readers to reconsider the philosophical and literary foundations of cultural myths.
Further, Toliver delves into the clash between established literary and philosophical beliefs and the undeniable truths of natural history. By presenting a naturalistic perspective, he encourages a re-evaluation of cultural myths, questioning the assumptions made about humanity’s place in the cosmos and how these beliefs have shaped societies over centuries.
Harold Toliver, a retired Professor of English, American, and Comparative Literature, has devoted his academic career to bridging the humanities with scientific perspectives. Formerly on faculty at institutions such as Johns Hopkins, UCLA, and the University of Washington, Toliver has authored numerous works in literary history and theory.
Since retiring, he has shifted his focus to interdisciplinary studies that reveal how natural history can reshape cultural assumptions and beliefs. His recent publications trace the influence of natural history on human understanding, from the Renaissance to the breakthroughs of the early 20th century in fields like astrophysics and evolutionary biology.
“Mythic Worlds and the One You Can Believe In” is available on Amazon and other global book retailers, inviting readers to explore the intersection of myth and reality through Toliver’s scholarly yet accessible approach.
