More about the book
The book delves into the conflict between history and truth, exploring how history gains meaning through universality and systematic understanding. However, it posits that this same universality can undermine the unique experiences of individuals, leading to a tension between collective narratives and personal significance. This investigation highlights the complex relationship between historicity and the search for meaning in human lives.
