Roman Krznaric – History For Tomorrow: Inspiration from the Past for the Future of Humanity

What can we learn from our shared history that could inspire solutions to humanity’s most pressing challenges today?

History for Tomorrow unearths fascinating insights and inspiration from the last 1000 years of world history that could help us confront the most pressing concerns of the 21st Century. From bridging the inequality gap and reducing the risks of genetic engineering, to reviving our faith in democracy and avoiding ecological collapse, History for Tomorrow shows that history is not simply a means of understanding the past but a dynamic way to reimagine our relationship with the future.  

Krznaric reveals how, time and again, societies have risen up to tackle challenges and overcome crises. History offers a vision of radical hope that could turn out to be our most vital tool for surviving and thriving in the turbulent decades ahead. 

Roman Krznaric is a social philosopher whose books, including the acclaimed The Good Ancestor, have been published in more than 25 languages. Named by The Observer as one of Britain’s leading popular philosophers, he is Senior Research Fellow at Oxford University’s Centre for Eudaimonia and Human Flourishing and founder of the world’s first Empathy Museum.
