In the second millennium CE, the idea of progress in linear time took hold in Europe. By the beginning of the twentieth century, “progress” had become the dominant mindset in many parts of the world. It embodied an attitude of unbounded optimism – the past was to be left behind and scientific progress would remake the world into a technological utopia. However, back in the “real world”, behind the intellectual and moral chaos of post-modernism, “real life” continued much as it always had done. Men and women still worked to feed their families and raise their children, farmers cultivated their crops, and those who had not been affected too severely by post-modern loss of meaning in their lives continued to worship their gods.
This book looks at the culture and people of Mesopotamia who produced some of these fundamental mindsets as well as the innovations that they created. They are one of our forgotten cultural ancestors and our inheritance from them is vastly greater than can be erased by just one century of philosophical and moral debates.
