A Mighty Maze

Ideas of the 20th Century Season 1 Episode 1

Overview:
In our introductory lecture, Dr. Bonevac reveals the interdisciplinary roots of 20th-century thought, tracing how the Scientific, Agricultural, and Industrial Revolutions reshaped society and human life. He shows that as progress brought prosperity, it also sparked a lasting philosophical tension between the “manifest image” of free, rational agency and the “scientific image” of a physically-governed world. We see how this unresolved clash—between reason, morality, and determinism—remains a defining challenge of modernity.
