Mythos and logos

"Logos" is a term from ancient Greek philosophy meaning reason, logic, and rational thought. It involves using evidence and deliberate argumentation to understand or explain something. "Mythos," on the other hand, refers to storytelling, tradition, and shared cultural narratives that express values and beliefs through myths or symbols. While "logos" relies on structured reasoning and facts, "mythos" emphasizes narrative, emotion, and cultural significance. Both are ways humans make sense of the world—"logos" through logic, "mythos" through story and meaning.
