On the Use and Abuse of History for Life

Meer over het boek

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.
