Peet, C. (2019). ":Practicing transcendence: Axial Age spiritualities for a world in crisis." New York: Palgrave MacMillan.

Scholars have become increasingly interested in philosopher Karl Jaspers’ thesis that a spiritual revolution in consciousness during the first millennium BCE decisively shaped world history. Axial ideas of transcendence develop into ideologies for world religions and civilizations, in turn coalescing into a Eurasian world-system that spreads globally to become the foundation of our contemporary world.
