How do humans stop fighting? Where do the gods of myth come from? What does it mean to go mad? Likening gift exchange to vengeance in reverse, Mark R. Anspach outlines a fresh approach to reciprocity and traces the emergence of transcendence in collective myths and individual delusions. From the peacemaking rituals of pre-state societies to the paradoxical structure of consciousness, Anspach takes the reader on an intellectual roller-coaster ride that begins with the problem of how to deceive violence and ends with the riddle of how one can deceive oneself.
