Dominion: The Making of the Western Mind by Tom Holland
5.0
How Christianity has shaped Western Thought
An insightful book on the influence that Christianity has had on our society and furthermore how it has escaped the throes of religion and been exported throughout the world. Makes you think about the assumptions we make about other societies (such as ancient Rome) and to be vary of assuming the framework of thought was at all the same! I wish though to hear the other side of the coin: which implicit assumptions have we in the west imported from other societies?
