Books in the Beyond Medieval Europe series

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.

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.
