Re: Knight on the Middle Ages 
 
Actually he did that. "Is Modern Thought Anti-Intellectual?", written in 
1934 was an attack on neo-medievalism. And then in 1940 came "God and 
Professor Adler and Logic" with this memorable line: "And now abide 
Positivism, Pragmatism, and Scholasticism, these three: but the worst of 
these is Scholasticism." 
 
And his mentor, Frederick Kershner wrote a book with a title that is more 
problematic today: Those Gay Middle Ages. Same basic argument as Knight.
