A monumental and exhilarating history of European thought from the end of Antiquity to the beginning of the Enlightenment-500 to 1700 AD-tracing the arc of intellectual history as it evolved, setting the stage for the modern era.
Charles Freeman, lauded historical scholar and author of The Closing of the Western Mind ("A triumph"-The Times), explores the rebirth of Western thought in the centuries that followed the demise of the classical era. As the dominance of Christian teachings gradually subsided over time, a new open-mindedness made way for the ideas of morality and theology, and fueled and formed the backbone of the Western mind of the late Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and beyond.
