Wandering God :
Berman, Morris, 1944-
Wandering God : a study in nomadic spirituality / Morris Berman. - Albany : State University of New York Press, ©2000. - 1 online resource (xiv, 349 pages :) : illustrations
Includes bibliographical references (pages 327-332) and index.
Introduction: The Experience of Paradox -- The Writing on the Wall -- Politics and Power -- As the Soul Is Bent: The Psycho-Religious Roots of Social Inequality -- Agriculture, Religion, and the Great Mother -- The Zone of Flux -- Wandering God: The Recovery of Paradox in the Twentieth Century -- The Other Voice.
"The third book in Morris Berman's trilogy on the evolution of human consciousness, Wandering God continues his earlier work. Here, in a discussion of our hunter-gatherer ancestry and the "paradoxical" mode of perception that it involved, Berman shows how a sense of alertness, or secular/sacred immediacy, subsequently got buried by the rise of sedentary civilization, religion, and vertical power relationships." "Wandering God explores the meaning of Paleolithic art, the origins of social inequality, the nature of cross-cultural child rearing, the relationship between women and agriculture, and the world view of present-day nomadic peoples, as well as the emergence of "paradoxical" consciousness in the philosophical writings of the twentieth century."--Jacket.
