Question

Does “intellectual depression” refer to the people of the “Dark Ages” or historical knowledge of the time?

Answer 1

I'm thinking probably the latter choice because I'm sure the knowledge carried a certain weight to it when it was difficult or provoked an emotional response.

Answer 2

No because this depression is more about a bad economy.

Answer 3

This was tricky for me, you're probably right. :)

Answer 4

The intellectual depression refer to the period of time where historical advances were overlooked ; it was the period between two great advance times and was generally seen as unimpressive to the historians.
