Stop burying yourself in books, get off your ass, and travel to historical sites. See the history for yourself so to speak.

All the professional historians at my uni seem like cheery folks.

What's so depressing about it?

What? Of course there isn't, who the fuck believes there is?

The philosophical foundation of modern science is cartesian rationalism, which is a form of idealism. And all the previous religious thinking was of course idealistic as well.

Could you expand on this? Is this true? Are you referring to Cartesian dualism? What fields DO have their foundation in materialism, if any?

Neato, it has its own Wiki page

Never even heard of this before

Silly question, England owned France and therefore he could not have chosen to pass ruling France as he already did by virtue of being King of England.

Henry's claim to the throne of England was based on females not being allowed to inherit. The original English claim to France was based on females being allowed to inherit. Edward III was rightful king of France but Henry was not. Besides, Henry didn't even want to be king of France, he just wanted the duchy of Normandy in full sovereignty

>>1715212
England was ruled by French nobles, but these nobles had never been part of the French royal family
They owned big territories in France (their original territories) alongside their oversea colony England, but it didnt give them a claim on the French throne in any way

Almost every ancient civilization built some kind of pyramids, it's the babbys first monument of history. They are actually incredibly primitive, one of the easiest buildings to design and build. The Egyptians went a bit overboard with it by the later dynasties, but earlier pyramids (and pyramids from other cultures) were basically heaps of dirt or debris covered with stone steps or plates.

It doesn't

>>1714440
care to elaborate?

>>1714413
Totally and completely. The behaviour suggested is different than most other works, but it still fits perfectly the definition of mirror for princes.
The only way you could argue otherwise is by playing the satire angle, but let's not bother with that discredited and talked to death theory.

By attentionwhoring really hard. The weary Brits, in need of a wartime hero, fell for it.

Technically there's no corruption in a feudal monarchy.

It wasnt that good of a government thougj.

>Technically there's no corruption in a feudal monarchy.

Huh?

>>1714389
Not him, but if you make the methods by which people engage in corruption legal, then it's not a crime.

Bribing the Secretary of State to make you an Ambassador isn't corruption if selling titles ans positions to the highest bidder is legal. Racketeering isn't a crime and isn't corruption if it's legal to beat people up for not paying you money.

I think they're fairly certain he was a Soviet spy who was poisoned via his cigarettes.

With the way these people died, and the pics available send chills up my spine.

pleb history general?

Cool. Gotta say that I lost a lot of respect for him when he dismissed the entire medieval period as boring, but the history of rome was good.

>>1714288
Mike Duncan has released what is essentially a book version of history of Rome. So I guess it is superior because it's written? Even though the content is pretty much the same?

History books are dangerous if you read them without the proper discourse. For someone interested in history, but not studying it actively in an university podcasts are objectively superior for getting a factual view of history.

Not anon, but in books(or any reading matrial) you can easily find the footnote behinde the statement but in listing you most be more willing to accept the stated or harder to find the source of there information

Lost Russian support for no damn reason.

From is an Islamic perspective, it's the other way around. You see Jesus as perfect and Mohammed as grey because you are coming from a Christian culture. Muslims would see Mohammed as perfect, and Jesus as slightly less so.
