The Kelk and the Zwaard

The Kelk and the Zwaard
Book •
The Chalice and the Blade examines the interplay between partnership and dominator models in human societies across history.

Eisler argues that human history can be understood through the lens of these two fundamentally different social systems.

The partnership model emphasizes equality, cooperation, and mutual respect.

In contrast, the dominator model is characterized by hierarchy, control, and violence.

Eisler traces the impact of these models on various aspects of culture, including gender relations, economics, and spirituality.

She proposes that moving towards a partnership-based society is essential for creating a more peaceful and sustainable future.
