Out of Our Minds

Felipe Fernandez-Armesto OnewOrld (2019) “The history of ideas is patched with crazy paving,” writes historian Felipe Fernandez-Armesto in this big, bold homage to the human imagination in all its warped and fiercely inspired glory. Beginning with cognitive science, his global survey sweeps through leaps of thought from prehistory to today — a journey from unification to uncertainty, lit by minds such as China’s fourth-century-bc master of paradox Hui Shi and paradigm-smashing mathematician Henri Poincaré. Today, Fernandez-Armesto argues, the trend is shifting as our homogenized ‘global culture’ threatens the very exchanges that spark heroic ideas.
