About the author
Joseph M. Felser writes on the intersection of philosophy, myth, and spirituality. The Myth of the Great Ending, published by Hampton Roads Publishing Company, examines humanity's recurring fascination with end-times and apocalyptic narratives, from Christian ideas of the Rapture to New Age prophecies tied to the year 2012, asking why such predictions persist even when they fail to materialize. The Way Back to Paradise, an earlier book from the same publisher, explores paradise not as a static state but as an ongoing process of restoring balance between magical and rational ways of understanding the world. Felser's approach draws on philosophical and mythological analysis rather than practical instruction, treating cultural narratives as material for reflection rather than prescriptions to follow. His books suit readers interested in the history of ideas around apocalypse, myth, and the relationship between rationalist and esoteric worldviews, rather than readers seeking practical spiritual techniques.
