Part of the problem could be the fact that Abrahamic religions like Christianity follow books of laws that at one time allowed their followers to commit actions that we now understand were immoral. They did not seem to realize it was immoralat the time, which is problematic, as they base their morality on these laws...that allowed immorality...
@@LitProf I was no pointing out that following a book of laws is a problem, but what the laws did or did not allow COULD be a factor in what someone considers to be morally acceptable. For instance, some could have a problem answering this question: Is it ever morally acceptable to be allowed to purchase another person and consider them property that can be passed on to your children as an inheritance?
what a shame these great lectures don't get the attention they deserve
Kind words.
They aren’t exactly trendy, but may gain traction over time.
Thanks Dr Masson, another excellent lecture. Great to hear some medieval works being contemplated. Do you have any Chauser lectures?
Sadly I have never taught Chaucer
I have a lot of videos from you to binge watch.
Gonna catch up.
I wonder if you have a lecture about the hero's journey and how to use it for new writers

All ancient cultures follow books of laws.
