Synopsis

Myth Roots explores the fascinating intersection of mythology and history, seeking factual origins within legendary tales. By employing linguistic analysis, scrutiny of ancient texts, and cross-cultural comparisons, the book unveils how myths might reflect distorted versions of historical events and societal structures. For example, linguistic analysis can reveal connections between mythological names across different cultures, hinting at shared origins. Examining cultural practices, such as burial rites, further uncovers common motifs, suggesting either shared ancestry or universal human experiences.

 
The book progresses methodically, starting with core methodologies before diving into specific categories of myths. These include myths related to natural disasters, heroes and migrations, and social and religious practices. Each section analyzes linguistic patterns and corroborates accounts in ancient texts, such as the Epic of Gilgamesh, to identify kernels of historical reality. This interdisciplinary approach, drawing from history, archaeology, and anthropology, offers a unique perspective on understanding the development of human thought and cultural exchange.

    The Short Story - A Very Short...

    What defines a modern short story is much more than a question of length. Despite the efforts of early pioneers like Edgar Allan Poe, the genre was originally synonymous with the anecdote or tale and seen more as entertainment than art. However it has become far more than that, and this Very Short Introduction considers afresh the form's ongoing innovations in plot construction, capacity for psychological insight, and ability to offer intensely concentrated perceptions. 
     
     
     
    This book charts the rise of the short story from its original appearance in magazines and newspapers. For much of the nineteenth century, tales were written for the press, and the form's history is marked by engagement with popular fiction. From the later nineteenth century, the short story earned a reputation for its skillful use of plot design and character study. After the First World War it found outlets in high-brow publications, and single-author collections, as well as anthologies. 
     
     
     
    Exploring the form's techniques and themes, Andrew Kahn considers the continuity and variation in key structures and techniques such as the beginning, the creation of voice, the ironic turn or plot twist, and how writers manage endings. Throughout he draws on examples from an international and flourishing corpus of work, with close analysis of classic and lesser-known stories.

  • The Straw Man Fallacy - Misrepresenting an Argument to Refute It More Easily - cover

    The Straw Man Fallacy -...

    The Straw Man Fallacy is one of the most pervasive forms of logical misrepresentation, often employed to simplify complex arguments for easier refutation. At its core, this fallacy involves constructing a distorted or exaggerated version of an opponent's position, subsequently attacking this weakened argument instead of addressing the original point. The technique, though logically flawed, can be compelling, as it plays on cognitive biases and simplifies discourse in ways that resonate with audiences. 
    This fallacy derives its name from the image of a straw man, an effigy made of straw that lacks the strength or integrity of a real person. Just as a straw man is easily knocked down, so too is the misrepresented argument—a weaker version created not to understand but to refute. While the method is intellectually dishonest, its use is widespread, spanning casual conversations, heated debates, and high-stakes political rhetoric. 
    Understanding the Straw Man Fallacy begins with recognizing its foundational elements. First, the original argument is altered, often stripped of nuance or exaggerated to absurdity. For example, an individual advocating for environmental regulations might have their argument reframed as "wanting to eliminate all economic progress," a position they never claimed. This misrepresentation not only undermines meaningful dialogue but also diverts attention away from the core issue.
