At the heart of this classic, seminal book is Julian Jaynes's still-controversial thesis that human consciousness did not begin far back in animal evolution but instead is a learned process that came about only three thousand years ago and is still developing. The implications of this revolutionary scientific paradigm extend into virtually every aspect of our psychology, our history and culture, our religion -- and indeed our future.

Au c?ur de ce travail fondateur se trouve l'idée révolutionnaire que la conscience humaine n'est pas remontée à l'évolution animale mais était un processus savant qui a émergé, par cataclysme et catastrophe, d'une mentalité hallucinatoire il y a seulement trois mille ans et qui est encore en développement. Les implications de ce paradigme scientifique s'étendent à pratiquement tous les aspects de notre psychologie, notre histoire, notre culture, notre religion - en fait notre avenir. Pour reprendre les mots du critique, il s'agit d'un «texte humiliant, du genre qui rappelle à la plupart d'entre nous qui vivons en réfléchissant, combien il nous reste de réfléchir».

Im Zentrum dieser wegweisenden Arbeit steht die revolutionäre Idee, dass das menschliche Bewusstsein nicht in der tierischen Evolution begann, sondern ein erlernter Prozess war, der durch Katastrophen vor nur dreitausend Jahren aus einer halluzinatorischen Mentalität hervorgegangen ist und sich noch entwickelt. Die Implikationen dieses wissenschaftlichen Paradigmas erstrecken sich auf praktisch jeden Aspekt unserer Psychologie, unserer Geschichte, unserer Kultur, unserer Religion - in der Tat unserer Zukunft. In den Worten des Rezensenten ist es ?ein demütigender Text, der die meisten von uns, die ihren Lebensunterhalt durch Denken verdienen, daran erinnert, wie viel Denken noch zu tun ist."
