The Seekers (book)
''The Seekers'' is a non-fiction work of cultural history by Daniel Boorstin published in 1998 (hardback - 1999 paperback) and is the third and final volume in the "knowledge" trilogy.
==Contents==
''The Seekers'' is subtitled ''The Story of Man's Continuing Quest to Understand His World''. It is the story (or stories) of those within Western culture who have sought answers - many times without finding them. In ''A Personal Note to the Reader'', Boorstin writes, ''Caught between two eternities- the vanished past and the unknown future - we never cease to seek our bearings and our sense of direction. We inherit our legacy of the sciences and the arts - works of the great Discoverers and Creators...recounted in my earlier volumes. We glory in their discoveries and creations. But we are all Seekers. We all want to know'' why. ''Man is the asking animal...'' Unlike The Discoverers and The Creators this book does not chronicle discoveries, inventions and creations. Instead, various religious and philosophical Western thinkers are portrayed as are their attempts to seek in their own way. The work contains 41 separate vignettes, each dedicated to a seeker. They are grouped in eight parts that are divided into three ''books'' representing what Boorstin calls the three grand epochs of seeking.
