Abstract
ABSTRACTThe quest for the monomyth rakes in an unlikely candidate in Confucius, China’s great sage and moral teacher. However, his brief biography turns out to parallel the call to the collective hero’s journey in stage progression as well as in psychic immersion. Why then did Confucius cut to the quick, whereas the rest of the world told elaborate tales to deliver the same message? A possible answer comes in the prehistorical responses to perennial questions and problems of existence. Although most generated mythological explanations, the I Ching, as per Joseph Campbell, is China’s “mythic” view. This is where the development of cultures parted ways.
