Abstract

The critique of Francis Thomson constitutes only part of Ostrowski’s book. The other part, completely unrelated to the first one, is dedicated to a comparison of the intellectual development of the two halves of the Christian world in the Middle Ages. Ostrowski’s assertion that the Byzantines did not include logic in their school curriculum is untrue. What seems to him to be the main difference between East and West does not take root until the end of the 12th century. The West was drifting away from the common patterns of ancient Mediterranean civilization. The East largely remained the same. The Byzantines did not feel any special inclination toward the practical application of theoretical ideas. The people of Old Rus’, on the contrary, were quick at learning and innovating. Respect for tradition inevitably played a smaller role in a nascent culture than in a culture that had been born old.
罗斯-拜占庭-欧洲:三角测量的尝试?
对弗朗西斯·汤姆森的批判只是奥斯特洛夫斯基著作的一部分。另一部分,与第一部分完全无关,致力于比较中世纪基督教世界两半的智力发展。奥斯特洛夫斯基断言拜占庭人的学校课程中没有逻辑,这是不真实的。在他看来,东西方之间的主要区别直到12世纪末才生根发芽。西方正在偏离古代地中海文明的共同模式。东部基本保持不变。拜占庭人对理论思想的实际应用没有任何特殊的倾向。相反,老罗斯人善于学习和创新。在一个新生的文化中,对传统的尊重所起的作用不可避免地比在一个天生古老的文化中要小。

期刊介绍: Russian History’s mission is the publication of original articles on the history of Russia through the centuries, in the assumption that all past experiences are inter-related. Russian History seeks to discover, analyze, and understand the most interesting experiences and relationships and elucidate their causes and consequences. Contributors to the journal take their stand from different perspectives: intellectual, economic and military history, domestic, social and class relations, relations with non-Russian peoples, nutrition and health, all possible events that had an influence on Russia. Russian History is the international platform for the presentation of such findings.
