無料で聴く

In The Discovery of the Future, a captivating philosophical lecture delivered by H. G. Wells at the Royal Institution on January 24, 1902, the renowned author invites listeners to ponder the knowability of the future. Wells contrasts two mindsets one that is anchored in the past—legalistic, submissive, and passive—and another that boldly embraces the future—creative, masterful, and active. Aligning himself with the belief that external forces shape human destiny rather than individual actions alone, Wells urges us to seek profound insights into what lies ahead for humanity. He grapples with the compelling question of what might exist beyond our current understanding, deeming it the most tantalizing and perplexing inquiry of all. Ultimately, Wells instills a sense of hope regarding the coherence and purpose of our existence, celebrating the grandeur of human potential.Copyright Assorted Non Fiction アート 哲学 文学史・文学批評 社会科学
