The Axial Age cover up
Karen Armstrong’s The Great Transformation made such a total mess out of the Axial Age that her views on religion deserve to be challenged. The attempt to create a false unity of all religions (and in the process debunk the Axial Age Greeks who don’t fit in) is completely false, and prejudicial in another way, since it is an attempt to cover over what makes each of the different contributors distinct and unique.
