The history of mankind is driven by imagination - an amazing ability to represent what is not. Based on data from various areas of politics, religion, culture, philosophy and history, Felipe Fernandez-Armes tells about the fascinating and frightening cases of the flight of human fantasy from primitive times to the present day. A fundamentally new understanding of cognitive science allows the author to study the paths and methods of emergence of new ideas and build fascinating assumptions about who we are and what else we can achieve. With the help of the historical evidence, Fernandez-Aresta recreates the thoughts of our ancestors since the time of the Paleolithic, revealing the subtlety and depth of thinking of people. This real ode to the human imagination, created by a refined thinker, allows you to see that bad ideas are often more influential than good ones, that the oldest ideas available to us are one of the best and that the ideas of the Western world were often a consequence of interaction with other parts of the world
