Grounding in Medieval Philosophy
Up in the Air
Descartes and the Ontology of Everyday Life
Far from being the founder of an austere reductionism, Descartes is committed to a rich, multilayered, and complex metaphysics. This book begins by locating Descartes’s work against the ancient and medieval background to which he is reacting. It proceeds to argue that his theory of distinctions requires what he explicitly endorses―that in addition to minds and modes, there are material substances of every size. These substances when appropriately…
Peter of Spain
The Likeness of the King
Opening with the problematic panel supposedly depicting John II the Good in the Louvre, Stephen Perkinson’s The Likeness of the King provides a thought-provoking, contextualised account of the courtly culture and concepts of representation fostered and sustained production of what he terms physiognomic likeness in late medieval France. Throughout, Perkinson examines four interrelated questions: What criteria determine likeness in the Middle Ages?…
Fool’s Good and other Issues
Fischerâs Reasons
Ockham’s Metaphysics of Parts
Abelard's Stoicism and Its Consequences
As Sten Ebbesen has emphasized in his contribution to this volume, the influence of Stoicism in the Middle Ages is to be found everywhere and is yet felt subtly enough that one is often unsure whether it is Stoicism itself that is being encountered. Part of the reason for this is fairly simple: Stoicism was so very influential in the Roman Empire that it left its mark on most of the church fathers and on most of the philosophical schools of late …
Duns Scotus’s Modal Theory
Recent interest in John Duns Scotus’s modal theory derives largely from the suggestion that Scotus was the first in the Middle Ages, and perhaps the first ever, to employ a synchronic conception of modality, one that allowed for alternative possibilities at a given time, and from the debate about whether Scotus introduced a notion of logical possibility divorced from any question of what powers there are. These issues interact in the question of …
The Cambridge Companion to Duns Scotus
Each volume in this series of companions to major philosophers contains specially commissioned essays by an international team of scholars, together with a substantial bibliography, and will serve as a reference work for students and non-specialists. One aim of the series is to dispel the intimidation such readers often feel when faced with the work of a difficult and challenging thinker. John Duns Scotus (1265/6–1308) was (along with Aquinas and…
Some Aspects of Ockham's Logic
Medieval logic begins for most purposes with the work of Boethius, who attempted a Latin rendering of the standard late-antique Greek logic course. As the Boethian treatises began to be more widely studied in the ninth and tenth centuries, an indigenous Latin tradition in logic developed that reached its zenith during the twelfth century in the work of figures like Peter Abelard. It was within this indigenous tradition that the major developments…
The necessity in deduction
Petrus Aureoli and his contemporaries on future contingents and excluded middle
Atoms, Pneuma, and Tranquillity
This volume examines the influence that Epicureanism and Stoicism, two philosophies of nature and human nature articulated during classical times, exerted on the development of European thought to the Enlightenment. Although the influence of these philosophies has often been noted in certain areas, such as the influence of Stoicism on the development of Christian thought and the influence of Epicureanism on modern materialism, the chapters in thi…
Doxology and the History of Philosophy
Philosophy is not history, not even intellectual history. The history of philosophy is history, a branch of intellectual history. Yet it is widely believed, by philosophers and historians of philosophy alike, that the study of the history of philosophy is an important part of the study of philosophy.
