Culture of the Middle Ages. Karsavin L.

The Middle Ages have written an infinite number of books, but the second one as the “Culture of the Middle Ages” by Leo Karsavin - or at least similar to it, is not and is unlikely when it will be. The brilliant thinker of the Silver Age, Karsavin saw his task in revealing, in his own expression, the “mental element” of the European Middle Ages, to show the “life of the spirit of history”. The rulers and Roman dads are subject to the reader to the reader, they replace one other events, theories are born, and the building of European culture is being created a little. Karsavin considers this building through the prism of such a close Russian philosophy of the idea of ​​unity, uniting a human personality, religion, ethics, all processes associated with them and ultimately - the whole world. Lev Karsavin (1882-1952) - historian, philosopher, culturologist, poet, professor of St. Petersburg University. He was expelled from Russia by the Bolsheviks on the famous "philosophical ship". After the war, he ended up in the USSR, was arrested and died in the camp.
