Here, in a remarkable discussion of our hunter-gatherer ancestry and the \"paradoxical\" mode of perception that it involved, Berman shows how a sense of alertness, or secular\/sacred immediacy, subsequently got buried by the rise of sedentary civilization, religion, and vertical power relationships.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn an integrated tour de force, Wandering God explores the meaning of Paleolithic art, the origins of social inequality, the nature of cross-cultural child rearing, the relationship between women and agriculture, and the world view of present-day nomadic peoples, as well as the emergence of \"paradoxical\" consciousness in the philosophical writings of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMorris Berman \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of \u003ci\u003eSocial Change and Scientific Organization\u003c\/i\u003e; and the first two volumes of the trilogy on the evolution of human consciousness, \u003ci\u003eThe Reenchantment of the World\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eComing to Our Senses: Body and Spirit in the Hidden History of the West\u003c\/i\u003e.
