History timeline roughly sketched
Good evening, here I put together a sketch of the March of time, in some ways HISTORY or HERSTORY is the framework of the whole of the Learning Process, and within it, scattered about are personal favorites.
Antiquity
* History and some extant works that are tricky to date, and then the famed Greco-Roman stuff, along with the rise of Christianity.
* Lots of Great Courses for this, and more to get, I can only fit in so many lectures per day though, 3 or so.
* Stoicism, and Taoism springing from antiquity as well.
Middle Ages
*For this time period what I have so far is some Christian works, Chivalric romances, and the triumvirate of Italians -- Dante / Boccaccio / and Petrarch.
Rn'R (Renaissance & Reformation)
* The arts and theology so far command this period, Shakespeare and Calvin, the team captains, but with Montaigne being the top scorer. Giordano Bruno is a rising star, so much more to factor in. I'm all set for Theology though, however if I see something newly translated of a name I've only heard of, i'll probably shell out the change for it.
Enlightenment + Romanticism
The battling duo Rousseau and Voltaire, the French Revolution, and the poetry of Englishmen and Germans predominate so far. If it's not crystal clear yet, I need good History books treating all these time periods so my inner picture of these times and the most interesting people and thoughts come to the foreground.
19th century
What we have here is philosophy of Kierkegaard, Nietzsche principally, along with Schopenhauer, and novelists from England, France and Russia mostly, however other countries are represented.
20th century
Historically there are 2 sections -- the 2 world wars, and the cold war, which contained a flurry of other wars when other parts of the world could live as if all was just dandy. THEN the performing arts like film, and music, whereas Literature has a commanding constellation of Great's.
21st century
We are a quarter of the way through this one, and so far it seems like a more complex continuation of the previous History is being made as we live and breathe, I choose to limit my intake of this stuff, as i'm mightily sick of hearing about it, but as I learn more of History as a whole, and the great works and people and thoughts that were before, maybe, just maybe I could sniff out something or someone that in the 21st century would seem like it belongs in a grand sequence, living among giants still.
