I’m a graduate in Medieval Studies, and when I try to explain some myths about it, people look at me as if I was insane. The Enlightenment propaganda is so strong, that telling the truth about Medieval era sounds like a crazy right-wing conspiracy theory.

Has anyone read Sir Anthony Kenny? I’m looking to buy (and hopefully read as soon as possible) his “A New History of Western Philosophy”, particularly “Medieval Philosophy”.
