Johann Jakob Bachofen Libri

This work embarks on a comprehensive exploration of ancient gynocracy, examining its religious and legal nature in relation to both primitive life stages and advanced cultures. The research aims to cover all aspects of gynocratic customs, identifying individual traits and the unifying principle that connects them, thereby reconstructing a cultural stage that was either suppressed or completely overcome by the subsequent development of antiquity. The ambitious goal requires a significant broadening of perspective to achieve true understanding and clarity in the scientific thought that characterizes knowledge. The author intends to present the development and scope of these ideas in a clear manner, facilitating the study of the ensuing discourse. This text is part of a series published by Forgotten Books, which focuses on reviving rare and classic literature.
