Big Research Questions about the Human Condition : A Historian's Will, Hardback Book

Big Research Questions about the Human Condition : A Historian's Will Hardback

Hardback

Description

The book is a manifesto-like essay aiming to redress some globally present drawbacks characterizing current research in the humanities: 1.

Fragmentation and thematic volatility; 2. A reluctance to acknowledge that humanities research is a truth seeking enterprise as all scientific research; 3.

A certain unwillingness (or inability) to ask clear questions and to provide distinct answers to these questions.

The book consists of three parts: A. Introduction, where the problem and the purpose of the book is presented; B. six chapters, each presenting a certain topic that I suggest that humanist scholars gather around with sustained efforts; C.

Conclusion with some words of how to proceed and a section discussing what the humanities or should and are not or should not be.
