Some light reading for a bright Monday:
Alan Macfarlane, the Cambridge anthropologist-historian, provides Fortnightly readers with a novel way to stack books – by “imagining what it would be like to be a future archaeologist digging through the rubble of our civilization and finding a library.”
On the top shelf: Plato, Aquinas, Bacon, Abelard, maybe Bonaventure – and Ibn Khaldun’s Muqaddimah?
