The Alphabet Versus the Goddess: The Conflict Between Word and Image (Compass)

Leonard Shlain

4.9/5 (19112 ratings)

Description:Is it sheer coincidence that the European witch hunts quickly followed the invention of the printing press? In his groundbreaking work The Alphabet Versus the Goddess, Leonard Shlain proposes that the invention of writing, particularly alphabetic writing, rewired the human brain, causing profound cultural changes in history, religion, and gender relations. While the advent of literacy brought innumerable benefits to society, the switch to left-brain thinking upset the balance between men and women. The rise of male dominance led to a corresponding decline in goddess veneration and the status of women. Ending on a positive note, Shlain notes that the return of an image-oriented culture - through the media of photography, film, television, and the Internet-has brought about a sharp rise in the feminine values denigrated during the 5,000-year reign of patriarchy and literacy.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
