Earlier this year I was reading up on European Medieval History and in his 1963 study βEurope in Renaissance and Reformationβ S. Harrison Thomson asserted that: βThe story of the age-old struggle of the common people for the simple rights of human beings fills the pages of history. In the fourteenth century this struggle became a continent wide phenomenon transcending lines of climate, race and language. In some respects it was the most important event of the whole eraβ. (page 241)
In many ways this kind of thinking seemed to be very typical of the malaise of modern thinking that set me off on a thought-adventure under the title βMODERN LESSONS FROM MEDIEVAL HISTORYβ, which I completed about a month ago.
MB members who think that I write too much will obviously not be interested in this ten part study.
