Features: This book allows you to understand the thread of Western civilization's evolution, which does not completely disappear in the Middle Ages. Many immortal achievements in the history of civilization still exist within it; thus, the title "Dark Ages" is indeed unfair. The various awakening movements in the four centuries of reactionary reforms were indeed rooted in the Middle Ages. Various forms of education, stemming from these awakening movements, gave rise to the spirit of their special educational systems. As a result, they successively entered the modern era. It is clear that the process of educational evolution has never been interrupted, and its contributions to the history of civilization have never ceased to be diligent. The educational systems of each period are products of their environment, so the organization of their systems must be adapted to the needs of the environment. They are constantly corrected or transformed in accordance with the demands of the times. Among these, the last one is particularly important. Because the changes in the times and environment are endless, a system that suits the past may not be suitable for today, and what suits today may not fit tomorrow. To ensure that it can always adapt to the trends of the times, there must be reliance on the "unceasing reform." Those who undertake the cause of educational reform must also examine the conditions of their time and environment to make corresponding reforms: meeting the needs of the current environment, guiding the future of evolution, avoiding unnecessary sacrifices, and thus making practical contributions. Therefore, this book can serve as an important reference book for us today who discuss "educational reform," as a "collection of the essence of past and present, and a true guide for governing chaos."
