Foreword by Humberto Maturana, "Why Why we harass and persecute each other?, why our world is full of infamous man's inhumanity to man and woman, how can humans be so brutal to their own kind? "is the search for these answers that led to this book by Riane Eisler, The Chalice and the Blade.

Mingling various archaeological evidence to suggest, religion, art, social sciences and history and other fields of research, Riane Eisler recreates a new story about our origins cultural.

This book questions the foundations of Darwinism, namely the struggle and competition are natural and inherent in the people. The Chalice and the Blade raises a hope. While not a return to society of solidarity that prevailed at the beginning of time, but building something similar, in that instead of domination which there is collaboration, what Riane Eisler called Partnership.
