中文简介:
本课程探讨从罗马帝国衰亡到中世纪高等时期西方知识传统的发展。我们的基本前提是,基督教在西方的胜利并非事后看来不可避免的结果。因此,我们的注意力不仅将集中在基督教思想和实践的发展上,而且也将集中在它的挑战者身上。课程的核心主题包括在古代晚期统一的基督教正统派的出现;修道实践的发展及其伴随的知识传统;以及基督教信仰的地域传播。与这些趋势相反的是其他力量,我们也将在阅读材料中讨论这些力量。特别地,我们将考虑北方异教的持续存在;伊斯兰教的崛起;一个独立的拜占庭东正教的固化;土著异端运动;以及犹太人在整个欧洲社会中的模糊地位。
课程简介: This course examines the development of the western intellectual tradition from the fall of the Roman Empire through the High Middle Ages. Our basic premise will be that the triumph of Christianity in the west was not the inevitable outcome it might appear from hindsight. Our attention will therefore be focused not only on the development of Christian thought and practice, but on its challengers as well. The core themes of the course include the emergence of a uniform Christian orthodoxy in late antiquity; the development of monastic practice and its attendant intellectual traditions; and the geographical spread of Christian beliefs. Working in opposition to those trends were other forces, which we will also address in our readings. In particular, we will consider the persistence of northern paganism; the rise of Islam; the solidification of a separate Byzantine orthodoxy; indigenous heretical movements; and the ambiguous position of Jews in all of European society.
