Myth and Science An Essay

"Myth and Science" by Tito Vignoli is a philosophical exploration of the relationship between mythical and scientific thinking. The essay looks at the very beginning of how myths came to be, viewing myth as something more than just old stories. Vignoli says myth is a key part of how humans think and understand things. He believes people use myths to make sense of the world, much like science does and these two ways of thinking are reflections of humanity's need to understand, which will be broken down in the essay. The author says that myths aren't just old-fashioned ideas but still affect how we think, which the essay will show how the study of myths explains basic human thoughts and actions.
