seeks to unveil the logic of myths through bundled opposites like light and dark

It is a Comparative approach representative of a Particular Epistemology or Way of Understanding Nature and Organizing Thought.

He thinks the content of the myth is arbitrary. He sees similarities between myths from different cultures which explore the same themes
