Renowned French historian Patrick Bouchron addresses a perennially relevant question: in what spaces and spheres of social and cultural life can politics manifest itself? He argues that politics finds expression not only in grand revolutionary declarations, but also in the words, images, and gestures that quietly enter everyday life and have the power to change our understanding of the world. Arguing that recognizing the political in the most unexpected texts and images requires attention, patience, and the ability to read slowly, Bouchron turns to Giorgione's famous and enigmatic painting, "The Three Philosophers." It depicts representatives of different generations reflecting, debating, and attempting to understand the diverse facets of human experience. But who are they? And what can they tell us about the historian's craft, one of whose tasks is precisely to uncover the political in the "folds of time"? By engaging with them, as well as other historical figures from Francis of Assisi and Christopher Columbus to Osip Mandelstam and Michel Foucault, Bouchron invites the reader to explore the political in its most unexpected manifestations—in those spaces between past and future where new ways of understanding and acting in the world are born.
