Publisher's Synopsis
Medievalism: A Reply To Cardinal Mercier is a book written by George Tyrrell and published in 1908. The book is a response to Cardinal Mercier's criticism of the medievalist movement, which sought to revive the cultural and intellectual traditions of the Middle Ages. Tyrrell argues that the medievalist movement is not a rejection of modernity, but rather a way of enriching it by drawing on the insights and wisdom of the past. He defends the medievalist movement against accusations of being anti-intellectual and anti-scientific, and argues that it is a legitimate and valuable intellectual tradition. The book is a significant contribution to the ongoing debate about the relationship between tradition and modernity in Western culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
