Sample text
Pre-modern framework From the earliest times to the Renaissance in Europe, the possibility of knowing anything with certainty, even the existence of reality itself, was explained, with very few exceptions, through invoking a divine and unquestionable order (Howe 1994). There were many variations on this basic idea, which can be discerned even in the secular discourse of the great philosophers of Antiquity. For instance, Plato (1992) would say that only a deep look into true nature reveals what the idea of the good is and not everybody is equally equipped to grasp such a thing.
