We live in the Golden Age of Technology!

The entire text of the Dictionary of the History of Ideas is online, and you have access to it!

This is great because, for example, the full text of the entry on "Primitivism" from the Dictionary is available at http://etext.virginia.edu/cgi-local/DHI/dhi.cgi?id=dv3-72. The entry summarizes much of what I covered in yesterday's lecture and goes into far more detail than would be possible in a lecture. Isn't technology wonderful? Enjoy.

p.s. you might also enjoy (?!?) the subsequent entry, "Primitivism in the Eighteenth Century." It's never too early . . . .
