On the Use and Abuse of History for Life

Focusing on the practical application of history, this work challenges the notion of knowledge as an end goal, advocating instead for a perspective that prioritizes living life fully. It explores how this approach can enhance societal well-being and critiques the fundamental principles of classic humanism. Through this lens, the text presents a thought-provoking examination of history's role in enriching human experience rather than merely serving as a repository of facts.
