For the final exam, please answer the following questions in a 1 page minimum response each.
1. Why was al-Andalus considered an ‘Ornament of the World’, what role did a culture of tolerance play in that?
2. What happened? Why did it all end? Please use the two segments of text below as your starting point here.
“What happened? How and why does a culture of tolerance fall apart? How did a people come to abandon a culture rooted in an ethic of yes and no, so readily able to love and embrace the architecture or the poetry of political enemies or religious rivals, so willing to read good books regardless of the library they came from?” (p.266)
“[Ferdinand and Isabella] chose instead to go down the modern path, the one defined by an ethic of unity and harmony, and which is largely intolerant of contradiction. The watershed at hand was certainly the rise of single-language and single-religion nations, a transformation that conventionally stands at the beginning of the modern period and leads quite directly to our own.” (p.271)
3. What impact did the history of al-Andalus have on the wider world? Is it an example or a cautionary tale?
These are instructions from my professor. We are reading the end of “Ornament of the World” by Maria Menocal
