概要

 In 530 CE, as the Roman Empire crumbled into chaos, a monk named Benedict wrote a short guide for communal living that would change history. His simple principle---ora et labora, prayer and work---created 37,000 monasteries that preserved classical knowledge, pioneered agricultural and technological innovation, and built the educational infrastructure that became Western universities. While ancient texts traveled through Constantinople, Baghdad, and Moorish Spain, Benedictine monks kept literacy alive in the West, creating the civilization that could receive that knowledge when it returned. Harmonia explores how Benedict's integration of work and worship, his emphasis on community and service, and his patient institution-building offer principles that still shape how we build lasting communities today.
