Understanding History throughout Time and Space - Mini-konferencja
Understanding History throughout Time and Space
Instytut Zachodni
16th November 2022
13h30-16h30
Does history have a "sense"? Is there a general "telos" to the evolution of humankind? Is there such a thing as "progress", or is humanity condamned to cyclicity, chaos, perhaps even endless decline?
All human civilisations have given different answers to these questions. The proposed mini-conference will shed an exemplary light on some of them, taking into account Egypt, Greece, Rome, ancient China, the German idealist philosophy as well as Polish historical thought.
