Summary

What is the past – and what can we really know about it? This is the big question Febvre explores in this 1942  text. Relying on his groundbreaking technique championing ‘problem-based history,’ Febvre focuses  on sixteenth-century French writer François Rabelais to answer one controversial question: Was Rabelais  really one of France’s first atheists?Febvre conducted thorough research on Rabelais and the times he lived in to challenge this accepted view. He studied the mindsets of the day and concluded that Rabelais was not – indeed could not have been– a non-believer because it would have been impossible  for a man to conceive of a world without God in that time and place.
