The Cambridge History Of Medieval Philosophy

Description

The Cambridge History of Medieval Philosophy comprises over fifty specially commissioned essays by experts on the philosophy of this period. Starting in the late eighth century, with the renewal of learning some centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire, a sequence of chapters take the reader through developments in many and varied fields, including logic and language, natural philosophy, ethics, metaphysics, and theology. Close attention is paid to the context of medieval philosophy, with discussions of the rise of the universities and developments in the cultural and linguistic spheres. A striking feature is the continuous coverage of Islamic, Jewish, and Christian material. There are useful biographies of the philosophers, and a comprehensive bibliography. The volume illuminates a rich and remarkable period in the history of philosophy and will be the authoritative source on medieval philosophy for the next generation of scholars and students alike. 0......Page 2 39......Page 10 40......Page 24 41......Page 38 42......Page 50 43......Page 66 44......Page 80 45......Page 95 46......Page 108 47......Page 120 48......Page 134 49......Page 147 50......Page 160 51......Page 180 52......Page 193 53......Page 208 54......Page 222 55......Page 234 56......Page 246 57......Page 258 58......Page 266 59......Page 306 60......Page 470 61......Page 536
