The Chalice and the Blade

Our History, Our Future

De: Riane Eisler

Narrado por: Riane Eisler

Riane Eisler believes that war and the "war of the sexes" are concepts neither divinely nor biologically ordained. Join the author as she reconstructs a prehistoric culture based on partnership rather than domination and traces the roots of the global shift to patriarchy. Eisler, an acclaimed scholar, futurist, and activist, also presents new scripts for living based on a more socially, economically, ecologically, personally, and spiritually balanced society. This script is in direct opposition to the tension and violence typical of what she calls the dominator model. Her vision is the partnership model, which today is struggling to reemerge. This program is an important contribution to that struggle.©1987 Riane Eisler (P)1997 New World Library

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The most important book since Darwin's Origin of Species." (Ashley Montagu)
"Some books are like revelations, they open the spirit to unimaginable possibilities. [this] is one of those magnificent key books that can transform us." (Isabel Allende)

glimpse into the wholeness of archaic paradigms

A measured comparison of the value structures composing very different anthropomorphic paradigms, convincingly suggesting that the former of the title interwove humans within an Earthly cooperative web of plenty, whereas the latter is cleaved from the systems from which we came, thereby propagating a perceived paradigm of scarcity and the resultant culture of fear. A ripe time for such a read.

Incredible insights and information!

What an eye-opening experience! This book is filled with vital information that the whole world needs to know. I loved it.

Amazing Book, Poor Recording

The content is great, and the author, who also narrates, speaks clearly, but the chapters are not separated in Audible, so you can't go back to specific topics without knowing (or guessing) time stamps for when each book chapter started.

Truth Intangled
