Sinopsis:
In this work, Christopher Dawson concludes that the period of the 4th to the 11th centuries, commonly known as the Dark Ages, was not a barren prelude to the creative energy of the mediaeval world. Instead, he argues that it is better described as ""ages of dawn"", for it was in this rich and confused period that the complex and creative interaction of the Roman Empire, the Christian Church, the classical tradition and barbarous societies provided the foundation for a vital, unified European culture. In an age of fragmentation and the emergence of new nationalist forces, Dawson argued that if ""our civilization is to survive, it is essential that it should develop a common European consciousness and sense of historic and organic unity"". But he was clear that this unity required sources deeper and more complex than the political and economic movements on which so many had come to depend, and he insisted, prophetically, that Europe would need to recover its Christian roots if it was to survive.

Paper Back. Condición: New. The fact that the writings of Christopher Dawson have been nearly forgotten in all but a few small corners of the intellectual world proves the chronological snobbery of our age. In the 1930s and 40s, according to a Touchstone review, Dawson was praised by notables such as G.K. Chesterton, Barbara Ward, Russell Kirk, Dorothy Day, C.S. Lewis, Arnold Toynbee and Lewis Mumford; and T.S. Eliot named him the ''most powerful intellectual influence in England.'' His fundamental convictions were certainly against the grain of his time (as well as ours): ''It is the religious impulse which supplies the cohesive force which unifies a society and a culture. The great civilizations of the world do not produce the great religions as a kind of cultural by-product; in a very real sense the great religions are the foundations on which the great civilizations rest. a society which has lost its religion becomes sooner or later a society which has lost its culture.'' One can surmise that he would have viewed with dismay the determination of the European Union to pass over Europe's Christian heritage in silence. The Making of Europe, first published almost fifty years ago and now reprinted, portrays the early Middle Ages as a richly formative period, when the disparate but converging elements of the Roman Empire, the Church, the classical tradition and the ferment of young barbarian cultures combined to form the foundations of European culture. Aldous Huxley commented after the original publication, ''The Dark Ages lose their darkness and take on form and significance. Thanks to the author's erudition and marshalling of facts, we begin to have a notion of what it is all about.'' 282 pp. Nº de ref. del artículo: 198389
