Summary:"In his new book From Mythos to Logos : Andrea Palladio, Freemasonry and the Triumph of Minerva, Michael Trevor Coughlin provides an interpretive lens to explore how myth was used to encode sixteenth-century Italian works of architecture and their frescoed interiors with logos--providing powerful insights that promote a way of being in a world in which peace and freedom are the greatest hallmarks of society.
