- Fernand Braudel

About this Quote

This quote by Fernand Braudel speaks with the significance of comprehending history in its whole. He suggests that, regardless of the intricacies and contradictions of history, it is important to acknowledge the unity of history and life. He thinks that all elements of history must be taken into account and positioned within the more comprehensive context of history. This allows us to get a better understanding of the past and how it has actually formed the present. Braudel's quote stresses the importance of looking at history holistically, rather than concentrating on private occasions or minutes. By doing so, we can acquire a much better understanding of the interconnectedness of history and life, and how the 2 are linked.
