CLOSING OF THE WESTERN MIND(I***N=9781400033805) 阿里云 lit azw3 txt pdf caj 下载 在线

　　A radical and powerful reappraisal of the impact of

C***tantine’s adoption of Christianity on the later Roman world,

and on the subsequent development both of Christianity and of

Western civilization.

When the Emperor Contstantine converted to Christianity in 368

AD, he changed the course of European history in ways that continue

to have repercussi*** to the present day. Adopting those ***ects of

the religion that suited his purposes, he turned Rome on a course

from the relatively open, tolerant and pluralistic civilization of

the Hellenistic world, towards a culture that was based on the rule

of fixed authority, whether that of the Bible, or the writings of

Ptolemy in astronomy and of Galen and Hippocrates in medicine. Only

a thousand years later, with the advent of the Renaissance and the

emergence of modern science, did Europe begin to free itself from

the effects of C***tantine's decision, yet the effects of his

establishment of Christianity as a state religion remain with us,

in many respects, today. Brilliantly wide-ranging and ambitious,

this is a majo***ork of history.
