History, the collective experience of Mankind, teaches us about the present and the future. How do we look at events of the past? Do they help to solve our present political or economical conditions and conflicts? The essays in this anthology derive from the Engelsberg Seminar in 2019 that dealt with these questions. From perspectives as varied as the History of Ideas, Evolutionary Psychology, and Ideologies amongst others the writers apply history to today s concerns such as International Relations, Geopolitics, Economics, and the role of the individual and human nature in history. Perhaps it is only through applied history that we can find our way forward.

Past and present

Terrorismens historie er lang og varieret. I denne bog fokuseres der på den del af terrorismen, som har impliceret den vestlige verden. Fra de oprørske irske feniere over russiske nihilister og revolutionære, RAF, ETA og mange flere frem til global jihad og al-Qaeda.<br><br>Burleigh giver læseren et indblik i terrorens mål og midler, og til forskel fra mange andre eksperter tør han også tage et standpunkt i forhold til sit emne. Mange har forsøgt at ´forstå´ terrorismen og finde Vestens ´fejl´. Burleigh understreger, at terrorisme er en politisk taktik, der bygger på vold og søger at opnå sine mål ved at skabe frygt. Volden bliver meget ofte et mål i sig selv, og terroristerne er i øvrigt tit viklet ind i andre former for kriminalitet. Terrormiljøet er uden undtagelse moralsk usselt, siger Burleigh direkte.

Historien, mänsklighetens samlade erfarenheter, lär oss om nuet och framtiden. Hur är det möjligt att titta på händelser i det förflutna och med hjälp av dem lösa samtidens politiska eller ekonomiska förhållanden och konflikter?<br><br>Essäerna i denna antologi härrör från Engelsbergsseminariet 2019 där dessa frågor diskuterades. Ur bland annat idéhistoriskt och evolutionspsykologiskt perspektiv tillämpar skribenterna historien på nutida företeelser som internationella relationer, geopolitik och nationalekonomi, individens roll och den mänskliga naturen. Kanske är det bara genom att tillämpa historien som vi hittar vägen framåt?
