How did people get their academic doubts cleared before the internet era?

314 viewsOtherTechnology

I’m currently reading “Madness & Civilization” by Michel Foucault and there are several paragraphs here that completely elude my intellect and absolutely require the internet for me to fully grasp it. This got me thinking, how did the poor souls from the 60s cope up with books like these? How did the freaks who read these books for fun get their doubts cleared?

If this was something you were reading in school, what would happen is that you wouldn’t first ask the internet but instead you’d go to your professor’s office hours and ask the professor to explain it a bit more. You might also look to see if the library had some sort of study guide to Madness and Civilization or some books about the work of Foucault in which you might hope to find something written about that part of the book that you can understand.
