Chapter 9

Classical: 500 bc-1348 AD

  • timelines are problematic 
  • strayer would call "Islamic Period," third wave, post-classical 
Classical means...
  1. competition for dominance between civilizations 
  2. seminal thinkers 
  3. empire and cosmopolitan areas 
  4. mulit-continental political structures 
China
Byzantine Empire....had its golden age 

Islam? is Islam a goof example of why this came to be called a post-classical period?

the period from 500 AD to 1348 AD is not a post or later classical, but rather a fully classical era of human history. 

4 sections 
  1. birth of religion 
  2. civilization 
  3. era empire 
  4. culture 
Civilization: 
  • good economy 
  • cosmopolitan civilization 
  • technology diffused widely 
  • contributed to ecological exchange as agricultural products 
  • practices spread from one region to another 
  • goods, technologies, food products, and ideas circulated widely 
  • a network of faith 
  • multicontinental structure
