Abstract

We call the Middle Ages the "Age of Faith", and the "Enlightenment" of the eighteenth century the "Age of Reason". Looking at the irrationalities, cruelties and manias which have marred history since then, however, it might be more accurate to say that it was the Enlightenment, with its optimistic view of a rational human nature, that was the real age of faith, and that the mediaeval church had a sounder view of human strengths and weaknesses.
