Book Description
Allá adonde nunca alcanzó a penetrar la mirada del hombre, ni la huella de su pie se ha dejado sentir? O, acaso, sólo las de algún héroe más divino que humano, transportado a esas lejanías por la magia de poderes sobrenaturales. En lugares tan remotos, tan perdidos que causa pavor siquiera imaginarlos. Envueltos en la bruma de los sueños terroríficos, ¿los ha creado quizás nuestra fantasía para encerrar en ellos, ?bajo llave?, a tantos seres horripilantes de los que la razón consciente desea huir?

Book Description
Superb general account.' Times Literary Supplement The story of the history of Western astrology begins with the philosophers of Greece in the 5th century BC. To the magic and stargazing of Egypt the Greeks added numerology, geometryand rational thought. The philosophy of Plato and later of the Stoics made astrology respectable, and by the time Ptolemy wrote his textbook the Tetrabiblos, in the second century AD, the main lines of astrological practice as it is known today had already been laid down. In future centuries astrology shifted to Islam only to return to the West in medieval times where it flourished until the shift of ideas during the Renaissance.

The Alphabet Versus the Goddess

Publisher : Penguin
Page : 500 pages
File Size : 24,86 MB
Release : 1999-09-01
Category : Social Science
ISBN : 9780140196016
Book Description
This groundbreaking book proposes that the rise of alphabetic literacy reconfigured the human brain and brought about profound changes in history, religion, and gender relations. Making remarkable connections across brain function, myth, and anthropology, Dr. Shlain shows why pre-literate cultures were principally informed by holistic, right-brain modes that venerated the Goddess, images, and feminine values. Writing drove cultures toward linear left-brain thinking and this shift upset the balance between men and women, initiating the decline of the feminine and ushering in patriarchal rule. Examining the cultures of the Israelites, Greeks, Christians, and Muslims, Shlain reinterprets ancient myths and parables in light of his theory. Provocative and inspiring, this book is a paradigm-shattering work that will transform your view of history and the mind.
