The Terror of History: On the Uncertainties of Life in Western Civilization
Teofilo F. Ruiz
Reflects on Western humanity's efforts to escape from history and its terrors - from the existential condition and natural disasters to the succession of wars and other man-made catastrophes. In chapters that range across Western history and culture, this book takes up religion, the material world, and the world of art and knowledge in turn.
