MatureAbout this book
Summary
Humanity's earliest attempts to comprehend the universe were often framed by a profound sense of struggle. Before the codified narratives of monotheistic traditions, and long before the figure of a singular, malevolent adversary named Satan emerged, ancient cultures grappled with the fundamental duality inherent in existence. These were not always moral dualities in the later Abrahamic sense, but rather existential and cosmic conflicts that shaped their understanding of reality. The very fabric of the cosmos, they believed, was woven from the tension between opposing forces: order and chaos, light and darkness, creation and destruction, life and death. This primordial cosmic duel provided a framework for understanding the world, its origins, and its ongoing transformations.Book information
