Abstract

Comparative mythology of different intellectual periods reveals the relationship of inherit ance, correspondence and convergence in the spotlight. In Müller′s study, comparative mythology shows the presence of words, nature and emotions. The new comparative mythology is dedicated to the construc tion of a community of stories, societies and ideas. The research led by historical comparative mythology shows the mutuality of nature and society with ′world, life and science′ as the core of a direct reference to human history and life. Comparative mythology explores intermythology and intersubjectivity with the construction of interknowledge, revealing both differences and similarities, exploring both origins and bases, pursuing both transcendence and simplicity. Comparative mythology moves forward on the path of intellectual exploration.
