Description

Wandering God: A Study in Nomadic Spirituality by Morris Berman explores the evolution of human consciousness through a remarkable discussion of our hunter-gatherer ancestry and its impact on perception. Berman reveals how a sense of alertness, or secular/sacred immediacy, was buried by the rise of sedentary civilization, religion, and vertical power relationships. This integrated tour de force examines various aspects of human culture, including Paleolithic art, social inequality, cross-cultural child rearing, women's roles in agriculture, and the world view of present-day nomadic peoples. Berman also delves into the emergence of "paradoxical" consciousness in 20th-century philosophical writings. By shedding light on these topics, Wandering God offers a nuanced understanding of our shared human heritage and the complex forces that have shaped our collective history.
