so interesting to learn about how the people in the medieval ages conceptualized the world/space/etc.

also, i see where fourth wing and the cruel prince got inspo for character names/places…

a lot of philosophy stuff here to muddle through but it was very thought provoking!!!!! love you Clive.

very interesting to see how ancient history influenced later history which has influenced our modern history—through ways of thinking. obviously, that’s a basic concept, but i’m still astonished to trace the development of concepts we think are “unique” to our era.

always happy to read cs lewis. one chapter in, and i’m very intrigued by the way he’s traced the inspiration for the literature and beliefs of the medieval times and middle ages.
