Ebook: Die Aktualität der Vormoderne: Epochenentwürfe zwischen Alterität und Kontinuität

In the historical work of the humanities, there is intense discussion of new categories. Rather than simply dividing epochs into antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the modern era, there is a new division between pre-modernity and modernity. Nation-based studies are giving way to studies of interconnections at the European and global level. The essaystake an interdisciplinary approach to examine the costs and benefits of these new perspectives.
