Fthe Future of Our Past: From Ancient Greece to Global Village: Oxford-Westminster Critical Studies
Autor H. J. Blackhamen Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 ian 1996
The Future of Our Past is a powerful thematic essay that follows the course of Western history into the postreligious present in terms of cultural inheritance and legacy. Pagan Greece, Yahweh's Judea, and Christian Rome are the three universal models that shaped the past and continue to shape the present. From the Renaissance through the Enlightenment and on into the modern industrial period, the West has evolved in often tumultuous ways. As science, politics, and economics grew and developed, they clashed with and finally broke away from the established religious viewpoint.
What does the secular world offer us as a new vision of humanity? What, if any, hope can be found in the many upheavals in today's world? Blackham restores the idea that civilization is a precious inheritance of the past in which we all share. His valuable observations help us to appreciate our responsibility to preserve this legacy and pass it on to future generations.
