Progress in Troubled Times: Learning from “The Age of Genius”

A.C. Grayling, Philosopher and Master, New College of the Humanities examines this turbulent period when science moved from the alchemy and astrology of John Dee to the painstaking observation and astronomy of Galileo, from the classicism of Aristotle, still favoured by the Church, to the evidence-based, collegiate investigation of Francis Bacon.
These transitions of thought created the modern mind. (Anthony) A.C. Grayling was filmed at the Telegraph Festival of Education 2016 at Wellington College.

Hegel had a point. There is so much more to history than meets the eye at first glance & A.C. Grayling is so very good at it.

I love the way grayling makes sense of it all.
