Michael Wolfe Quotes
The Years Between Roger Bacon's Birth, In 1220, And Uthred's Death, In 1370, Are Considered The Final Flowering Of The Middle Ages. They Were Followed By A Longer, Grimmer Period In Europe, During Which The Machinery For Rooting Out Heresy Defeated Enlightened Discourse Almost Completely. The Early Condemnation Of Works By William Ockham, Johannes Eckehart, The Spiritual Franciscans, And Dante Signaled The Start Of A Breakdown In The Integrity Of Western Thought. During This Great Interruption, Xenophobia Replaced Curiosity, Interest In Islam And The Classics Withered, And Muslim Thought Was Anathematized Or Ignored. Fifty Years Later, It Was No Longer Wise To Learn Arabic, Hebrew, Or Even Greek.
