The truth is in the diversity of things
Joseph Campbell Rounds Up Things
Anthropology cannot work like comparative literature. The meaning of anthropology, of history, of archaeology, is in the differences between things and not the similitudes. By reducing all myths, mythologies, folkloric or fairy tales to all common points he gets a skeleton and yet this skeleton does not consider many things that do not go the way Campbell wants things to go. His monomyth is just what it says it is, a myth, meaning it does not exist because it negates differences. It sounds to me like a "Black Face" that is denying each individual the right and duty to be different from all others.
