  • 漫遊歐洲中古時代:為現代的「眼界」奠定基礎的中世紀

    Medieval Horizons: Why the Middle Ages Matter

    Oversat af 胡訢諄 ...
    如果你認為「中世紀」是倒退的同義詞,你就暴露自己的無知。因為這個年代給了我們大學、國會,和某些歐洲最精緻的建築。今日我們的生活方式,很大部分是十一至十六世紀之間社會發展的結果。許多當前的概念、價值、優先順序其實源自中世紀。我們許多文化與社會慣例也是,從發現其他大陸和種族,到使用姓氏、依賴金錢和書寫文字。簡而言之,不知道中世紀發生的變化,代表不懂塑造現代世界特色的諸多革命,也代表不懂我們自己。《漫遊歐洲中古時代》將帶領我們見識中世紀的精華。我們往往視中世紀為黑暗、落後、不變的時期,充斥暴力、無知與迷信。相較之下,我們相信進步來自科學和技術創新,也就是說,現代世界來自近幾世紀的發明。這樣的觀點其實大錯特錯。誠如伊恩・莫蒂默這本引人入勝的書,人們的眼界——他們對世界的知識、經驗、理解——是在中世紀大大擴展。西元一千年至一六〇〇年之間,生活徹底轉變,從武士主導的社會過渡到莎士比亞的時代。就像 ...
