Jeanet Maduro de Polanco

Jeanet Maduro de Polanco is a history and philosophy academic and aspiring historical nonfiction writer. Jeanet has always had big dreams and an even larger appetite for knowledge and understanding.

Jeanet Maduro de Polanco possesses a dual Bachelor’s in History and the Classics. Shortly after graduating from university with her undergraduate degree, she pursued her Master’s in History and has since been working towards her Ph.D. Along the way, she developed an appreciation for philosophy—the beliefs rooted in humanity and history—which turned into a new obsession.

What Jeanet loves most about history is the lessons it beholds for both the individual and society as a whole. History is real, and it’s the easiest way to evaluate humanity and why we act or do the things we do. Even better, history is often more interesting and entertaining than fiction.

For further growth and knowledge, Jeanet’s passion for history evolved and expanded into an appreciation for philosophy. A natural progression, understanding the events of the past goes hand-in-hand with knowledge of the great minds of an era and their beliefs. What’s more, learning philosophy is a fantastic way to better analyze the world around us and the world created before our time.

She dove headfirst into the works of Aristotle, Plato, and, of course, Socrates. Most fascinating to Jeanet is the fact that all of the questions she’s found herself pondering over throughout her life are asked by philosophers and, to an extent, answered by philosophers. This simple realization lends itself well to the study of history to better understand human nature and the events of the past.
