Why are gothic cathedrals considered the greatest accomplishment of the Middle Ages

History
2 answers:
Nostrana [21]4 years ago
7 0

Answer: as all great works of architecture cathedrals express spiritual or religious aspirations of people of that time. Cathedrals are specifically European phenomenon we cannot find elsewhere. Their elegant shape, narrow long windows and the play of light it produces inside is the best example of art of that time. The same can be said about the acoustic quality of their inner space. Cathedrals constitute a perfect combination of immaterial (spirit) and material (stone, durability).

Explanation: Cathedrals were usually built before the medieval world started suffering its crisis (14th-15th century): especially crisis of papacy and purity of Christian faith. First marks of decadence start in  philosophy (in fact few years after St. Thomas Aquinus´s death) and with power conflict between kings (emperors) and papacy. Then there is a "Black death" (14th century) and schism in the Church. Cathedrals express human longing for the transcendent, for immortality a faith in almighty god ...something we lack today.

What was the main benefit of the interchangeable parts created by Eli Whitney
faltersainse [42]

After the independence of the United States, there was a great demand for muskets in the nation, and independence made it possible to produce manufactured goods. Eli Whitney found sponsors to support the concept of interchangeable production parts in the manufacture of muskets. However, their sponsors became very impatient when, after a considerable time had passed and they had spent a lot of money, they learned that they were still making tools to make parts. In the long run, however, their efforts managed to produce interchangeable and economic parts in large quantities. The concept of producing a set of dies to make a million parts, which is already accepted today, was not well understood at that time.

Whitney's invention of the cotton gin typifies many extremely important mechanical advances of the time, but there is little doubt that his concept of creating tools to produce interchangeable parts was the greatest innovation of that period.

Whitney's concepts were later exploited by Henry Ford and others in the industry.
