General History
[Introduction to the Contents]
The history of human imagination drawn from "ignorance".
"It is impossible to know the people of the past without knowing what 『 did not know or 』". What did human beings know about the earth (earth) at their feet and what kind of world image they had? Focusing on "places beyond human knowledge" such as the north and south poles, glaciers, volcanoes, and deep sea since the 18th century, it traces the history of human imagination as an negative of "not knowing" while freely linking science, literature, and poetry. This is a thrilling and ambitious work by the first expert of "history of sensitivity".
