This chapter explores the depth of historical scholarship before the Black Death, revealing the inadequacies of modern materialism in addressing morality and beauty. It contrasts ancient cosmological views with contemporary ideas of value and identity, while examining the philosophical implications of consciousness and its relationship to self-awareness.
