Male and Female is an important contribution to the sociological and political minefield of gender studies. Beginning with the threads of the male and female elements in cosmic evolution, the author studies the mythological and Judaic-Christian traditions, culminating in the present situation of the sexes within contemporary Western culture.Baruch Urieli develops the theme of "empathy" as a guiding star for male-female relationships based on inter-recognition, inter-acceptance and inter-dependence. Through the power of empathy it will become possible for individuals and couples increasingly to perceive their true destiny and bring a new order into this area of human and world evolution.
