平安時代を理解するなら日記を解読しないといけないらしい。そこから見えるのは悍ましい政略結婚。源氏物語はメロドラマ。今も昔も政治は姻戚関係と金なのか？
It seems that if you want to understand the Heian period, you have to decipher the diary. What you can see from there is a terrifying political marriage. The Tale of Genji is a melodrama. Is politics always about relationship by marriage and money?

中世の折り返し地点13世紀。都市が発達し、世界システムが生まれ、大学ができ、個人が現れる。
The turning point of the Middle Ages in the 13th century. Cities develop, world systems emerge, universities emerge, and individuals appear.

このシリーズの特徴、14世紀から17世紀までも中世という括りにいれ、ここをバロックで代表させる。デカルト、ホッブス、スピノザ、ライプニッツ、彼らはスコラ学＝アリストテレス学に飽き足らず、数学的、実験的、明晰な真理へ進み近代の準備期間となる
The characteristic of this series is that the period from the 14th century to the 17th century is categorized as the Middle Ages, and is represented by Baroque. Descartes, Hobbes, Spinoza, and Leibniz were not satisfied with Scholasticism/Aristotelianism and moved toward mathematical, experimental, and clear truth, which became the preparatory period for the modern era.
