What is the author's style in Myths to Live By by Joseph Campbell?

Campbell is speaking from the perspective of an intellectual living at the time of huge breakthroughs in science and technology. Man has just landed on the moon, and in recent years, he has seen the advent of television, universalized electricity in America telecommunication breakthroughs, and with those advances, a general sense that man would overcome whatever difficulties arise in the future. He sees religion from that perspective and in the same attitude with which history looked back on the archaic beliefs that the world was flat and at the center of the universe, and he is sure from that perspective that the intellect of man will inspire humanity to reassess the role religion plays in individual lives and collective cultures.
