A grand overview of peoples thoughts in Sweden about nature, society and what it is to be human, from ancient times to the Renaissance. With concrete examples and an elegant language, the reader gets to penetrate back in time to wonderful and alien worlds of thought. Previous works on the subject have their origins in the Middle Ages and were based on the learned, written culture. David Dunér, professor of the history of ideas and learning, tries a new approach here by following the history of thinking and ideas as far back as there have been people in Sweden. Not only the great thinkers are illuminated here, the author also examines how people throughout history tried to understand the world around them. Why would one start thinking about things at all? It made the world more comprehensible and easier to live in, but also bigger, stranger and more wonderful. Here the interplay between thought and the outside world is described and explained, including the environmental, technological and social changes that drove new ideas - from cultivating the land to expressing thoughts in petroglyphs and runes, the introduction of written culture and Christianity, and finally the art of printing and the disruptive change of the Reformation on thinking. David Dunér is breaking new ground in the history of Swedish ideas with this standard work which is not only based on the very latest research, but is also the most complete on the subject.
