Abstract: | (Re)birthing new ideas in the Renaissance -- Science is a human invention -- The Enlightenment will free you and mess you up -- Now, that's a revolution! (France, 1789) -- I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more Nationalism! -- Industrialization, or: welcome to the machine -- On the road again: the ideas and violence of Western Imperialism -- Look, we've got to talk about the Enlightenment -- World War I: the war that did nothing but changed everything -- Between the wars without a center, or: up the creek without a paddle -- Downhill all the way: World War II and the Holocaust -- The Cold War as a line in the sand -- The long, strange and not-so-complete death of Colonialism -- The end of history, or something like that -- You do you: identity politics. |
| "Starting with the Enlightenment, Europeans developed big ideas that have increased opportunities for people around the world and raised standards of living. But those same ideas have also produced wars, genocide, colonialism, and the potential for global environmental disaster. In a natural, funny and engaging style, Imhoof guides us through the good, the bad and the indifferent of modern European history"-- |
