Summary

Based on natural-mystical views of the world and their meaning from early human history, the author examines the challenges of the digital epochal change of the present. It also addresses the question of what place our archaic heritage in rituals, art and mystical experience can have in a constantly and rapidly changing world. A must-read for anyone who wants to explore the development of humanity, the development of the individual and collective psyche and a rich source work that draws on the wealth of cultural theory, philosophy of religion and the psychology of consciousness.
