"From Plato to Postmodernism" presents the cultural history of the
West in one concise volume. Nearly four thousand years of Western
history are woven together into an unfolding story in which we see
how movements and individuals contributed to the philosophy,
literature and art that have shaped today's world. The story begins
with the West's Greco-Roman and Judeo-Christian origins, moving
through the Middle Ages, Renaissance, Enlightenment and Romanticism
to twenty-first century postmodernity. The author covers key
figures such as Moses, Michelangelo, Mozart and Marx, setting them
in context and highlighting their main contributions. Illustrations
and a comprehensive glossary help explain important terms such as
'gothic', 'baroque', 'stream of consciousness' and 'the death of
God', and clarify movements such as Neoplatonism, Renaissance
humanism and existentialism.For students, this book bridges the gap
between what is taught in schools and the cultural knowledge
required at university, providing an indispensible grounding in the
story of Western culture. For all readers, it offers an invitation
to take an enjoyable tour through the fascinating history of
Western thought, literature and art.
