Description

Highwater uncovers the origins of the mythologies of religion and science, which have turned individuals into freaks of nature. The Mythology of Transgression shows us that if these mythological origins remain hidden from us, their influence over society's rules of conduct will persist and our understanding of morality will be jeopardized.
