Chronological snobbery

__NOTOC__
Chronological snobbery is the erroneous argument (usually considered an outright fallacy) that the thinking, art, or science of an earlier time is ''inherently'' inferior to that of the present, simply by virtue of its temporal priority. The term was coined by C. S. Lewis and Owen Barfield. As Barfield explains it, it is the belief that "intellectually, humanity languished for countless generations in the most childish errors on all sorts of crucial subjects, until it was redeemed by some simple scientific dictum of the last century."〔''History in English Words'' p. 164〕 The subject came up between them when Barfield had converted to Anthroposophy and was seeking to get Lewis (an atheist at the time) to join him. One of Lewis's objections was that religion was simply outdated, and in ''Surprised by Joy'' (chapter 13, p. 207–208), he describes how this was fallacious:

A manifestation of chronological snobbery is the usage in general of the word "medieval" to mean "backwards".〔C. S. Lewis in ''Surprised by Joy'' (Chapter 13, p. 206) Quote: "'Why–damn it–it's ''medieval'',' I exclaimed; for I still had all the chronological snobbery of my period and used the names of the earlier periods as terms of abuse."〕
