worldviews from earlier ages March 10, 2007
The editors provide an ecletic array of source documents. These are sometimes deliberately jarring to the modern reader. But they let us garner some insight into the world views of earlier ages. As in Copernicus diffidently explaining his astronomical deductions, while trying to avoid the ire of the Catholic Church. Closer to our times is a description of work in the factories of Britain early in the 19th century. Showing the appalling conditions under which people had to labour, just to survive.br /br /Sometimes the excerpts seem too short. Especially when the student has to answer questions based on those.
