Summary:

"Illuminating key moments in the intellectual history of the European Middle Ages, Instrumentality opens up the instrumental condition of the human for critical reflection and renewal. J. Allan Mitchell leads readers from three-dimensional objects to two-dimensional inscriptions and onward to overarching disciplinary norms in the early liberal and mechanical arts, showing how these instruments are indispensable to the past-and the future-of the arts and culture at large"-- Provided by publisher.
