• Resumen

  • For most of Western history, truth and morality came from God and King, and free will was a theological question. This began to change in the 1700s and the idea that humans were individuals with the freedom of rational choice soon wormed its way into the belief systems of the upper echelons of society. Here, Pentland talks about the concepts of rationality and individualism, which profoundly shaped the governments and culture of the West.
