THE REOPENING OF THE WESTERN MIND
Traces the immense intellectual development that culminated in the Enlightenment, from political ideology to philosophy and theology, as well as the fine arts and literature. Explores how modern science began with the conflict of classical texts and that of empirical evidence; how European conceptions of humanity, religion, and science were altered by the discovery of America; and more. Well illustrated most in color.
