Summary/Abstract: The popular opinion sees Middle Ages as a “bad” period holding that it was a time of regress in civilisation and that it was characterized by exaggerated interest in religious or theological issues leading to a neglect of all other aspects of human existence. The two claims are refuted with arguments taken from history of civilisation and science, as well as from history of political doctrines and history of universities.
