Into the book
History is in the 'sea of ​​thought'.
It is filled with the thoughts of countless people.
Those thoughts create events, joys and sorrows.
To find the reason hidden in history, two words are needed.
It's 'why' and 'if'.
'Why' is a conversational technique that goes back to that era and sharply reasons and asks questions.
'If' returns to the present and opens a stage for thought where one can unfold one's own imagination.
'Thinking Korean History' sacrificed all knowledge in history to 'inference and imagination'.
Rather than 'is it true or false?' or 'is it right or wrong?', it focuses more on 'why' and 'if.'
Because reasoning and imagination are what create the will to live and hope.

--- From the author's note

“As my field of vision widened, my eyes grew bigger and I saw more.
We now have more information.
“In order to process a large amount of information, the brain’s capacity naturally increased.”
--- From "The Beginning of History on the Korean Peninsula"

Publisher's Review
Only those who ask questions get answers!
The hidden world of thinking in history, unraveled through why and if.

We often think of history as a record of past events.
Also, in textbooks, we learn intensively about the rise and fall of dynasties over time from prehistoric times to the present.
Most of the people listed in history books are the ruling class of society, including kings, nobles, and soldiers.
But if we think about it a little, this question is also possible.
How many people had to work to sustain a king? How many nameless soldiers had to die for Eulji Mundeok to win a war? Why are the potters who created Goryeo celadon used by the aristocracy forgotten in history? "Learning Thinking Skills in Korean History through Topics" is a journey to find answers to these very questions.
The ultimate goal of this book is to foster the power of imagination and reasoning, that is, to develop integrated thinking skills, beyond whether something is true or false (factual) and right or wrong (value judgment).
Therefore, each topic covered in this book extends beyond the social conditions of the time to include changes in the consciousness of the people of the time.
This is because the history of mankind has changed greatly depending on how people's thinking ability has changed.
This book is not just a history book.
This is a project to expand thinking skills through history.
For this, the author suggests two words.
That's why and if.
The author takes us back to that era and makes us think and question things sharply through the question, “Why?”
Also, through 'what if', I return to my present self and create a space where I can use my own imagination.
As you read this book, which covers a total of 25 historical topics in two volumes, you will find your thinking power growing significantly.
