''The Discarded Image: An Introduction to Medieval and Renaissance Literature'' is non-fiction and the last book written by C. S. Lewis. It deals with medieval cosmology and the Ptolemaic universe, and portrays the medieval conception of a "model" of the world. This model formed "''the medieval synthesis itself, the whole organization of their theology, science and history into a single, complex, harmonious mental model of the universe.''"〔.〕 ==Synopsis== The book includes such concepts as the structure of the medieval universe, the nature of its inhabitants, the notion of a finite universe, ordered and maintained by a celestial hierarchy, and the ideas of nature. At the same time, Lewis takes his reader on a tour of some of the pinnacles of medieval thought (some of them inherited from Classical Paganism) that have survived into the modern cultural and theological landscape. Chapters include: # The Medieval Situation # Reservations # Selected Materials: The Classical Period # Selected Materials: The Seminal Period # The Heavens # The "Longaevi" # Earth and Her Inhabitants # The Influence of the Model 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Discarded Image」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
