In the centuries between 800 and 300 BC, there was an explosion of new religions. It is the most significant period since humans discovered fire.
Why do Socrates, Buddha, Confucius, Jeremiah, and Laozi, among others, appear in this crucial five-hundred-year span? And how is it that they have such similar ideas regarding human values and humanity?
In The Great Transformation, Karen Armstrong explores this fascinating period and identifies all those significant ideological elements that connect the group of philosophers, mystics, and theologians that emerge.
