Anders Engberg-Pedersen

Empire of Chance

The Napoleonic Wars and the Disorder of Things

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Anders Engberg-Pedersen shows how the Napoleonic Wars inspired a new discourse on knowledge in the West. Soldiers returning from battle were forced to reconsider what it is possible to know and how decisions are made in a fog of imperfect knowledge. Chance no longer appeared exceptional but normative¿a prism for understanding the modern world.
