More about the book
Exploring the intersection of faith and skepticism, this theory of religious symbolism connects recurring archetypes across cultures to a pivotal historical event: the shift from a unified society to one divided into elites and laborers. It posits that sacred symbols reflect this societal division, represented through themes of separation and the dynamics between masculine and feminine figures. The narrative of creation is reinterpreted as the emergence of feudal culture, with the transfer of wealth from labor to elites framing the concept of sacrifice.
