The Power of Art and Narrative in Understanding Human Capabilities

Art, narratives, and myths play a fundamental role in conveying the complex realities and capabilities of human beings. These forms of expression help people comprehend the depth of human experiences, consciousness, and our relationship with the divine or the cosmos. The ancient Greeks understood that scientific advancements could not answer profound questions about human existence, consciousness, and the sacred. They recognized two conceptions of truth: mythos (myth) and logos (logic), believing that the deepest truths could only be grasped through poetry, narrative, and the realm of myth.
