El cáliz y la espada

The Chalice and the Sword tells a new story of our cultural origins. He shows that the conflict and war of the sexes have not been divinely or biologically ordained and shows that a better future is possible, firmly rooted in the haunting dramas of what happened in our past. Eisler presents a conceptual framework for studying social systems with special attention to how a society constructs roles and relationships between the feminine and the masculine. Based on archaeological, anthropological and historical evidence, the author tells us about a world in which balance and community prevailed before chaos and destruction, arguing that humanity, in its origin, was not focused on struggle and competition, but rather on inclusion and participation. A bestselling and publishing phenomenon, with more than 500,000 copies sold worldwide, The Chalice and the Sword has inspired a generation of women and men to imagine a truly egalitarian society as they explore the legacy of the peaceful goddess-worshiping cultures of our prehistoric past.
