Books in the ARC - Beyond Medieval Europe series

Offers a new perspective on the "feudal revolution" by comparing forms of social and political organization in the Kingdom of the Rus and Latin Europe.

This book sets out to answer the question of why Eastern Church writers showed no interest in analytical reasoning - the so-called "intellectual silence" of Rus' culture - while Western Church writers, by the time of the Scholastics, routinely incorporated analytical reasoning into their defences of the faith.
