About the book
In this sweeping history, Jennifer Michael Hecht celebrates doubt as an engine of creativity and as an alternative to the political and intellectual dangers of certainty -- Just as belief has its own history featuring people whose unique expressions of faith have forever changed the world, doubt has a vibrant story and tradition with its own saints martyrs, and sages.
First sentence: When we look for doubt among the ancients, in the West we are going to find the most lively cases in the Hellenistic period-the few hundred years between the dominace of Classical Greece and that of Classical Rome.
