Can you point out some flaws in his theory? Specifically, in ways he brought mythology and religion back.

It's all about two kinds of truth and knowledge dealing with the realm of objective things (science) and the realm of meaning and values (myth).

This is a spin off of ancient mythos vs logos story, but he did a really good job in sparking the debate again.

What are your thoughts? Are there really two kinds of truth? If there are, can we conclude all of the stuff Peterson concluded?

I am of the opinion that Peterson's thought from what I know of it is that which I take to be Jungian in character,
and makes a great deal of presuppositions about metaphysics and dabbles too much in the anthropomorphism.
Bluntly, I do not think that mythology and religion as informing of meaning and value are adequate epistemological categories or at least are arrived at hastily and further, I do not think that we can say that they factor greatly into ordinary experience.

I also think that logos in this sense is a less developed version of the Hegelian notion of Spirit, and this outlines what I take to be a major issue with Peterson,
which is that he has an implicit dualism of phenomenal and noumenal types of knowledge.
That is, the distinction between only observable and only intelligible forms of knowledge, without a theory regarding interaction between the two.

If people are interested in what Peterson is saying, I think they would be better served by examining the German Idealists, or maybe even Alasdair MacIntyre if they think there is something to what Peterson says about morality.
