Damnatio Memoriae: On Deleting The East From Western History, Koert Debeuf
Damnatio Memoriae: On Deleting The East From Western History, Koert Debeuf
New England Journal of Public Policy
The story we read in books about the Renaissance tells us that Petrarch and Poggio rediscovered the books of antiquity that had been copied for centuries in medieval abbeys. The re-introduction of Greek science and philosophy, however, began in the twelfth century but occurred mainly in the thirteenth century.

The duograms are further discussed in a quadrant system with axes derived from pattern li and vital energy qi. The model has similarities with Libbrecht’s model of comparative philosophy, but also differences. It is further consistent with the quadrant system …
