This is a variant on C.S. Lewis’ “chronological snobbery,” the typically modern/ progressive idea that the present, in every aspect, is necessarily better than what existed in the past.

(”It’s medieval”). This is particularly idiotic, since the medieval period represented the high point in Western philosophy.
