- Summary:
- In Western thought, the modern period signals a break with stagnant social formations, the advent of a new rationalism, and the emergence of a truly secular order, all in the context of an overarching globalization. Terry Cochran links these developments with the rise of the book as the dominant medium for recording, preserving, and disseminating thought.
