Description
The Ancient Family - A Constitution of Primordial Structure This book explores the deepest and oldest layer of European religion, which governs all subsequent history. Fustel De Coulanges examines the Indo-European hearth cult, revealing a traditionalist, nationalist, patriarchal religion that centres around a sacred fire. The author draws on his work "The Ancient City" to provide insight into the primordial family structure. At its core, this ancient family structure is a complex system of worship and ancestry, where individuals are bound together by ties of blood and devotion. Fustel De Coulanges argues that this structure is the antithesis of modernity's values, offering a remedy for the ills of contemporary society. By studying this ancient family structure, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the roots of European religion and its enduring influence on Western culture.
