What do physics, cosmology, anthropology, literature, and art have in common? In his new book, Origins and Foundations in the Modernist Age, Humanities Distinguished Professor Stephen Kern traces how modernist thinkers across disciplines grappled with some of humanity's biggest questions: Where do things begin, and what foundations shape our understanding of the world?
Spanning the influential years of 1890 to 1930, this sweeping study reveals the distinctive ways modernists reimagined origins and foundations, leaving a lasting impact on both the sciences and the humanities.
