Talk:Early Modern Times

I think we should consider redirecting this to modernity along with Modern Times (history). A thread has been started at Talk:Modern Times (history).

No. Early Modern times means 16th and 17th century. "Modernity" can mean almost anything... Haraldgroven 23:24, 24 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't agree since the concept of being modern is a very recent one. And we're discussing the historical term here, not the dictionary definition. Please join the debate at Talk:Modern Times (history) so that we can have a joint discussion on this.

From my experience, the correct terminology is the "Early Modern Period". The use of the word "Times" seems inappripriote. As for the exact period, in the academic circles, the Early Modern Period runs from approx. 1500/1550 until 1790. S.Skinner 18:56, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
