Philosophy Presented in the “Epic of Gilgamesh”
This 6 page
report discusses the ways in which “The Epic of Gilgamesh” serves
to offer some measure of understanding into a culture’s ideals,
philosophies, and belief systems. Gilgamesh is the oldest
written epic known to exist in world history. It should be seen
as both a great poetic creation, as well as a documentation of
ancient humanity. Modern readers understand that many aspects of
contemporary existence -- friendship, desire for immortality,
lust, despair, self-awareness -- were as important to ancient
humanity as they are in the daily reality of the 21st century.
