More about the book
Exploring the intersection of history and ethics, this thought-provoking book challenges readers to consider the value of understanding the past. In the context of postmodern thought, Keith Jenkins argues that "learning lessons from the past" is often about interpreting narratives created by historians. He questions the foundations of historical knowledge and whether any ethical insights can truly be derived from a potentially unstable past. This work is designed to stimulate discussion and reflection on the importance of history in shaping ethical perspectives.
