Revolution

I am in a couple of courses that are outside the modern Europeanists field, and they've been productively challenging some of the tacit assumptions that modernists and early modernists make about their fields. In fact I've already heard medievalists claiming that they had the foundations of empirical science, capitalism, rationalism, and a whole host of "modern" concepts back in their period. To the degree that I've studied a handful of topics I am inclined to agree. In fact it might be wise to suggest that in the history of humanity, there has been but one revolution.
