Discuss the impact of technology on Medieval society and
culture and the impact of society and culture on the
development of Medieval technology.
Choose any of the questions asked by Hans Peter Broedel in the
section of "The Medieval Period" chapter, and answer it, tying
your response to other areas of The Medieval Period chapter.
The concept of the Middle Ages or the medieval period comes
from the Renaissance. The Renaissance saw a reaching back to
the classical past of Greece and Rome, a rebirth of classical
ideals. The Middle Ages were seen as dark and sterile, an age of
ignorance and superstition when little to nothing new or of
value was produced. Do you agree with this? Why or why not?
Discuss the nature of the Medieval university and the ways in
which its structure influenced the reception of Aristotelianism
in the Latin West.
The intellectual history of the later Middle Ages has
traditionally been described as decadent, autumnal, waning. Yet
recently a few scholars have asserted that the period between
1250-1450 was one of innovation, change, possibility. Which
view is more accurate and why? Medievalists tend to dismiss
this argument out of hand. Take a fresh look at this argument
and consider the extent to which the Middle Ages was an sterile
age, merely passing on diluted versions of the heritage of
antiquity, and the extent to which it contributed new and vital
elements to the European tradition.
