A sweeping exploration of humanity's oldest struggle: how to live together without falling apart. This book traces the symbolic journey of law from its first spark in ancient ritual to its modern institutional forms, revealing the hidden layers of meaning that still shape our sense of justice, authority, and shared order. Through anthropology, archaeology, philosophy, and cultural memory, it uncovers the forgotten cosmologies beneath contemporary systems and shows how conflict, norm, judgment, and community form an unbroken circle across time. A work of deep reflection and narrative resonance, it restores the emotional and symbolic foundations of law, offering a powerful meditation on why rules endure, why fairness matters, and why the human search for order never ends.
