History Between the Kens

  • Luke Clossey (author)
Chapter of: Jesus and the Making of the Modern Mind, 1380-1520(pp. 693–700)
This final chapter reflects on the two kens' implications for writing history. In both training and instincts, professional historians today tend to rely entirely on the plain ken. Could we use the deep ken to write history? Should we? Ideally both kens can coexist, and each find value and beauty in the other.
