Tradition, Innovation, Invention Fortschrittsverweigerung Und Fortschrittsbewusstsein im Mittelalter

Progress and the awareness of progress have become problematical as values in our society. At the same time, they were and are essential characteristics of our culture. A historical examination is designed to give account of a fundamental figure of thought in the West, and to reveal its origins. The papers collected in this volume demonstrate how in the Middle Ages the concept of progress could be reconciled with the bonds of tradition or in conflict with them.Schmidt, Hans-Joachim is the author of 'Tradition, Innovation, Invention Fortschrittsverweigerung Und Fortschrittsbewusstsein im Mittelalter' with ISBN 9783110183597 and ISBN 3110183595.
