There is a common belief that the peoples of the past were somehow exempt from (positive, especially) human nature, had less of a sense of morality (by any definition) than we do now, or were unaware of basic human dilemmas or triumphs. Relegating the Middle Ages to "primitive" distances us from close examination of what has not changed in society-or what has, which might not be for the better. Exploring and exploding these (mis)conceptions is essential to experience the benefits of a liberal education. 410 0$aPast Imperfect. 606 $aCivilization, Medieval$xStudy and teaching 606 $aEducation 615 0$aCivilization, Medieval$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aEducation. 676 $a929.374 700 $aTracy$b Kisha G 801 0$bUkLoBP 801 1$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822699403321 996 $aWhy Study the Middle Ages$93971046 997 $aUNINA
