History, the collective experience of Mankind, teaches us about the present and the future. How do we look at events of the past? Do they help to solve our present political or economical conditions and conflicts? The essays in this anthology derive from the Engelsberg Seminar in 2019 that dealt with these questions. From perspectives as varied as the History of Ideas, Evolutionary Psychology, and Ideologies amongst others the writers apply history to today s concerns such as International Relations, Geopolitics, Economics, and the role of the individual and human nature in history. Perhaps it is only through applied history that we can find our way forward.

What expressions did the birth of modernity take in Sweden? What does the connection between genocide and culture look like? And how does the historian recreate lost historical experiences? Twenty-six researchers investigate a contradictory and dynamic 20th century. From different perspectives, the authors of the anthology treat subjects such as cultural history, Judaism, memory research and history writing as an art and method. With the apparent idyll of the Swedish "folk home" and the complex reality of a stormy Europe in focus, this anthology answers questions about what modernity has meant for man as an individual and a social being. And what it means to be modern.
