À propos de cet audio

 A New York Times Notable Book of the Year From the author of The Discoverers and The Creators, an incomparable history of man's essential question, "Who are we?"; and "Why are we here?"

Daniel J. Boorstin, the bestselling and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Americans, introduces us to some of the great pioneering seekers whose faith and thought have for centuries led man's search for meaning.

Moses sought truth in God above while Sophocles looked to reason. Thomas More and Machiavelli pursued truth through social change. And in the modern age, Marx and Einstein found meaning in the sciences. In this epic intellectual adventure story, Boorstin follows the great seekers from the heroic age of prophets and philosophers to the present age of skepticism as they grapple with the great questions that have always challenged man.©1998 Daniel J.

"Delivered with . . . skill, unalloyed admiration, and a keen eye for detail" ( Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel)

A soaring overview of intellectual history from the viewpoint of seekers of truth. I’ve read nothing like it. My only complaint is that it was abridged and left out gems contained in the paperback. For that reason it’s worth getting the hard copy.
