The ideas that shaped the world: A brief history of human thought, by: Philippe Armisto

This book presents the idea that a person's ability to generate ideas is the true reason behind shaping the world in this or that model, and that this ability is what distinguishes humans from other creatures. In this context, it offers a large collection of ideas that it believes have shaped the world. Many readers may not agree with the author's views, and perhaps many will agree. Among these and those are a large group that questions and feels doubt and uncertainty about what is presented. Perhaps this is where the importance of this book lies, for a book that prompts the reader to question and doubt may be better than a book that almost provides definitive answers to the reader, convincing him of their correctness. The author studies fields of science, agriculture, religion, art, and politics in thought, without ignoring the coincidence that manifests in the right time when the human mind produces sparks that ignite the fires of change and even revolutions that change the course of human history forever. Dar Al-Farqad hopes that this book will inspire research and investigation into the scientific knowledge fundamental to the renaissance of nations. Number of pages: 150
