Modern Wisdom
Recommended Books for Non-Historians
For those new to history, 'The Invention of Yesterday' by Tamim Mansari serves as an excellent introduction, revealing how different ideologies shape historical perspectives across various cultures. Matthew White's 'Atrocities' offers a compelling examination of history through the lens of the 100 most significant brutal events, delivering a more objective narrative that challenges traditional progress-oriented histories. Amore Duriankur, a notable French Orientalist, provides profound insights with works like 'Sex and Power in History,' exploring gender dynamics and their impact on civilizations. His book 'The Eye of Shiva' discusses the similarities between ancient Hindu thought and modern scientific theories, while 'The Coming Caesars' draws parallels between American and Roman histories. Additionally, 'The Soul of India' and 'The Soul of China' delve into the fundamental characteristics and cognitive frameworks of Indian and Chinese civilizational thought.
