Introduction

Sarah Bekwell is a writer who specializes in writing about writers, adventurers and philosophers. Her latest book explores 700 years of writers, thinkers, scientists and artists all trying to understand what it means to be truly human. Sarah: Humanism is very hard to define because everybody has their own definition. It's the study of that cultural realm in which we live so much of our lives when we create art or explain things to one another.
