Peter Burke, "Ignorance: A Global History"
English | ISBN: 0300265956 | 2023 | EPUB | 256 pages | 9 MB
A rich, wide-ranging history of ignorance in all its forms, from antiquity to the present day
In this highly original account, Peter Burke examines the long history of humanity's ignorance across religion and science, war and politics, business and catastrophes. Burke reveals remarkable stories of the many forms of ignorance-genuine or feigned, conscious and unconscious-from the willful politicians who redrew Europe's borders in 1919 to the politics of whistleblowing and climate change denial. The result is a lively exploration of human knowledge across the ages, and the importance of recognizing its limits.
