Being there.
Historicality
In this segment on Dasein, or the being there, we describe Heidegger's understanding of the historicality of being human.  We then utilize selected quotes from Hans-Georg Gadamer's Truth and Method to describe the various ways in which our social histories in families and communities influence how we may come to understand and reason about our world.

What's happening?
Psychological models of history, with particular focus on mythical models.
This segment begins with a presentation of known psychological models of history: degenerative models of history, progressive models of history, cyclical models of history, chaos models of history, and mythical models of history.  Examples of each model as they apply to the history, practice, and science of psychology are included in this presentation.  Then, the work of Joseph Campbell is utilized to provide a framework for understanding the multiple functions of myth in explaining life's experiences.
