Most commentators agree that the 1960s were a time of important change in Western society. DiZerega sees monotheistic patriarchy as a major component of the Western world view, leading to sexual repression, oppression of women, dehumanization of men and a disregard for the natural environment. He analyzes the 60s as a period in which these aspects of the culture were challenged and movements that continue work for change had their origin. He sees a resurgence of the idea that divinity can have a female aspect as one of the most important of these changes. ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
The United States is suffering its greatest upheaval since the Civil War - politically, economically, socially, religiously. With elegant, sweeping vision, Gus diZerega explores the complex causes leading us to this point, comparing them to giant fault lines that, when they erupt, create enormous disturbance and in time new landscapes. He traces the disruption, first, to America's first countercultural movement originating in the antebellum South and coming into later conflict with the "counterculture" of the 60s that continues now in phenomena like Burning Man; and second, to the crumbling of the moral foundation birthed by the Enlightenment, leading to today's nihilism. But within the loss resides hope: diZerega sees promise of a new society based more in equality, sacred feminine values, and spiritual immanence. Whether the prevailing oligarchy will abort this transformation is the question of our time. This book enables those of us now living through it to understand the powerful forces shaping our lives and calling on us for a response. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
