Is this just human nature?

I'm reading a paper on the history of the effects of technology on culture, specifically the printing press's role in history. And I just read this quote: "Throughout the patristic and medieval periods, the quest for truth is thought of as the recovery of what is embedded in tradition... rather than the discovery of what is new."

Sounds oddly familiar.
