"Janus in modern life" is a book written by the outstanding English archaeologist and Egyptologist William Matthew Flinders Petrie. In this work, the author examines the famous figure of the two-faced Roman god Janus as a symbol illustrating ambivalence and dichotomies in our present.
Petrie examines how opposites are reflected in various aspects of our lives and how we interact with them. He adheres to the idea that our reality consists of a complex mixture of opposites that give our existence multifacetedness and depth.
"Janus in Modern Life" encourages readers to reexamine the world around them through the prism of dichotomies and ambivalence in order to better understand modern society and themselves. This book will be a valuable addition to the library of anyone interested in philosophy, cultural studies, and psychology."
