The book is divided into twelve chapters. The first chapter, “Theoretical Introduction,” deals with the distinction between a word, a term, and a concept, and explains that a word can be translated, as can a term, while a concept means nothing if it does not prove itself in explaining phenomena in the context to which it is transferred through translation. The second chapter, “Introductions to the Middle Ages,” briefly deals with the relationship between the Church and the political entities that began to crystallize on the ruins of the Roman Empire as a relationship of unity and conflict that ended with the rise of the state. The author considered this rise of the state and the centralization of the king’s authority to be among the most important signs of the end of the Middle Ages. The third chapter, “The Renaissance, Catholic Humanism, and the Centrality of Man,” deals with this.
