Terry Jones' Medieval Lives 6 - The Philosopher

submitted by mauz15

1 decade 5 years 4 months 1 week ago

Emmy nominated history series with Monty Python star and medieval enthusiast Terry Jones. He looks at the medieval scientist, or philosopher as they were known then, showing how they experimented on a huge scale and made key scientific discoveries. He argues that most of them had a more ethical approach than that to be found in today's commercialized world of science.
