1. Up to and including the Middle Ages there was no collective perception of children as essentially different from anyone else.
Q) I was wondering what "as" means exactly or can it be interpreted exactly with no vagueness?
Is it interpreted like this?
2. Up to and ... as(because) they(children) are essentially different from anyone else.
3. Up to and ... as essentially different from anyone else. ("as" here means like the definition as follows?: If you do something as a child or as a teenager, for example, you do it when you are a child or a teenager.
