As Stathis Kapogiannopoulos clarifies in this book, faith is the starting point of reasoning. Man confronts nature through the originating synthesis of faith and reasoning, as this is manifested in all the symbolic institutions of humanity, such as myth, art, religion, philosophy, and science. After a glorious journey of 26 centuries, philosophy is moving towards oblivion and decline, according to various contemporary "great figures" who have already predicted the end of history and ideologies, the death of God, etc. Nevertheless, the practice of philosophical thought is by no means dying. As our species evolves alongside the endless Odyssey of our inquiries, science – still in its sensitive childhood – will continue to coexist with its predecessors, myth and philosophy. This essay entitled "The Odyssey of Human Inquiries – Myth, Philosophy, Science," the result of extensive research and synthesis, was published in Greek by Diavlos Publishing in 2004 and is now addressed to an international audience in its English edition. Through his 135 inquiries, the author attempts to shed light on the multifaceted and labyrinthine paths of truth.
