This book, a thoughtful exploration of knowledge and man's progression through it, examines this acquired wisdom as the primary force behind humanity's advancements. To the author, the pursuit of knowledge is both the highest human calling and the indispensable means for reaching that potential. Through a multi-disciplinary and historical lens, the book considers the relationship between knowledge and the growth of civilization, the development of ideas, and the evolution of human capabilities. The author argues that an ever-widening circle of knowledge is foundational to human progress—in its absence, stagnation and decline inevitably set in. This book will appeal to readers interested in intellectual history, the philosophy of knowledge, and the forces that have shaped human civilization.
