possible true or false
-“neither the life of an individual nor the history of a
society can be understood without understanding both,”
-Always asking the questions why?
-The idea that the individual can understand his own
experience and gauge his own fate only by locating
himself within his period, that he can know his own
chances in life only by becoming aware of those of all
individuals in his circumstances.

imagination works is between ‘the personal troubles of
milieu’ and ‘the public issues of social structure’
