More about the book
The book explores the concept of historical criticism as a crucial element in the broader movement toward freedom and innovation, representing a revolt against authority. It connects this critical approach to the development of democracy, revolution, philosophy, and science. Emphasizing the significance of thought processes over tangible outcomes, it highlights that historical criticism is absent in ancient despotic societies, where material artifacts serve merely as resources for historical interpretation rather than as history itself.
