HIR 1: The natural State
1. Age of innocence
Was there an age of innocence in world politics?
1000 years before Chr.
o Moment from transformation from the bronze age to the iron age :
Standing emptiness of the world: only 60 million people spread over the
different continents (same population as in Italy now)
The planet was very sparsely populated (= dunbevolkt)
Little amount of cities and villages
A lot of thinkers assume that this situation must have excited less
pressure on human beings to go to war since they were so
remoteness and distends between societies
Holy trinity: water, fertile land, temperate climate
o North China Plain, Western European Coastal Plain
o Egypt, Mesopotamia, Indo-Gangetic Plain
Pattern where we have the coalescing of bigger policies from clans (family associated) into
tribe > village > city > state > empire
o From the moment that we have empires, we also have this notion of tribute and
world order essentially meaning that the periphery goes on his knees for the king. So
there is a typical centre – periphery relationship, a relationship also about
dominance and obedience
2. Optimists vs pessimists
This is a powerful representation of mother and child (vimca). We have many of these pre-
historic sculptures of mothers. Also rock drawing with pictures of family life this makes clear
that this caring for the family was very strong and it looks like it was celebrated in these forms
of early art. It makes us see and discover how the people of pre-history tray to cultivate the
importance of life.
The man bac men:
This is an old man with fragile bones this made the archeologic concluded
that his family, his village must have looked after him for a very long time.
They must have embraced him in the of the community and despite his
health and pore physical condition. They caped him a life => you can see the
importance and value of life
