The Joseph Campbell Foundation is not a commercial establishment. JCF sells no books, DVDs, or other merchandise, but does make available the gifts below as our thank you for donating designated amounts. Many of these items are available elsewhere for less; however, when you contribute here, every dollar above the costs of the gifts selected goes directly toward fulfilling JCF's mission.

Direct Contribution may also be chosen in place of (or in addition to) requesting a gift, which ensures the full amount of your donation benefits the Foundation.

From the Star Wars trilogy to the Grateful Dead, Joseph Campbell has had a profound impact on our culture, our beliefs, and the way we view ourselves and the world. Provocative and exhilarating, the approx. 90 titles that will ultimately comprise The Collected Lectures of Joseph Campbell offer a glimpse into one of the great minds of our time, drawing together his most wide-ranging and insightful talks.

Always at his best as an impromptu speaker, Campbell shines in these recordings, both as a scholar and as a master storyteller. These lectures are from early in his career, including recordings of his famous lectures at the Cooper Union.
