Perihal e-buku ini

Ritual Foundations explores the crucial role of ancient rituals in shaping belief systems and social structures. It examines how seemingly arbitrary actions evolved into formalized practices that defined communities and transmitted cultural knowledge. Ancient rituals weren't static decrees, but dynamic systems, adapting to necessity, social interactions, and cognitive processes. For instance, the book investigates how simple, repeated actions in early agricultural societies transformed into symbolic ceremonies.

The book progresses methodically, starting with core concepts of ritual theory and analysis methodologies. It then explores the genesis of rituals, illustrating their evolution from simple actions to formal ceremonies. Later chapters detail ritual's role in structuring social life, reinforcing hierarchies, and shaping personal and communal identity, using examples from Mesopotamia and Egypt.

Finally, the book analyzes how rituals adapted to changing conditions, offering insights into the values, anxieties, and worldviews of ancient civilizations.
