Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book offers a groundbreaking analysis of Paleolithic art and artifacts through the lens of political theory and philosophical anthropology, inspired by Eric Voegelin's ideas. Barry Cooper applies Voegelin's concepts of consciousness and symbolism to reinterpret ancient imagery, arguing for its political significance and suggesting that political life originated 25,000 years earlier than traditionally believed. This innovative perspective will engage archaeologists, prehistorians, and political scientists, highlighting the deep-rooted connections between early human expression and political existence.
