The Reopening of the Western Mind: The Resurgence of Intellectual Life from the End of Antiquity to the Dawn of the Enlightenment

byCharles Freeman

The Reopening of the Western Mind examines the Resurgence of Intellectual Life from the End of Antiquity to the Dawn of the Enlightenment, combining Charles Freeman's clear narrative with the perspective of a historical account. By tracing causes alongside consequences, the narrative gives readers both a grounded account and a route into the wider field of history. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention.
