Description
Reclaiming the first century as common ground rather than the origin of deeply entrenched differences, Susan Buck-Morss liberates the past to speak to us in another way. By challenging conventional readings of antiquity, she reminds us that recent scholarship has overturned the separation between reason and faith.
Buck-Morss explores the writings of three thinkers often marginalized in current discourse: Flavius Josephus, Philo of Alexandria, and John of Patmos. Through their works, she shows how we can approach history without partitioning it into distinct periods. Instead, we can see the connections between seemingly disparate ideas.
By redefining our understanding of time and history, Buck-Morss aims to topple various conceptual givens that have shaped modernity as an episteme. This book invites you to reconsider your relationship with the past and its relevance to our present.
