The renowned historian and author of Our America shares “an idiosyncratic exploration of…human history and various cultures' notions of truth” (Publishers Weekly).
What is truth? And how do we even approach such a question? It is a problem that has vexed thinkers and scholars of all cultures for millennia. Now Felipe Fernández-Armesto delves into the long and fascinating history of the human quest for truth.
Sharp and authoritative, Truth manages to touch every period of human experience; it leaps from truth-telling technologies of “primitive” societies to the private mental worlds of great philosophers; from spiritualism to science and from New York to New Guinea. In clear, lucid prose, this little book takes on an enormous subject and makes it understandable to anyone.
