Laws of Inheritance: A post-Jungian study of twins and the relationship between the first and other(s)

Instilled in interdisciplinary cross-cultural perspectives of mythical, socio-economic, literary, pedagogic and psychoanalytic representations, two archetypal, creative inheritance laws interact as twins: Eros (fusion/containment/safety) and Thanatos (division/separation/risk). Hypothesising these twin laws as matrilineal (Eros) and patrilineal (Thanatos), this book explores why cross-cultural forms, including gender traits, are not fixed but are instead influenced by earlier flexible matrilineal forms.
