Q: Can I put the text in my product, which is it is inspired by Joseph Campbell's hero's journey?
The product is an interactive story app that used the hero's journey template.
A: From your description as to what you want to do, it sounds like you would be creating a derivative work based on the copyright protected work. To do so without being liable for infringement, you would need a license from whomever now owns the rights in Mr. Campbell's works. That is not to say that they might not be interested in what you propose to do. Best to work with copyright counsel to develop your idea and proposal for use of the Campbell work in your work. Good luck.
