Opis

This volume provides a brief and accessible introduction to the 9th-century philosopher and theologian John Scottus Eriugena--perhaps the most important philosophical thinker to appear in Latin Christendom in the period between Augustine and Anselm. Eriugena was known as the interpreter of Greek thought to the Latin West, and this book emphasizes the relation of Eriugena's thought to his Greek and Latin sources.

Recenzje

Each chapter is replete with superlative notes, reflecting Carabine's intimate familiarity with the corpus of Eriugenian scholarship and her keen interest in putting the beginner on the trail of resources helpful for further exploration of the various concerns she addresses directly (or alludes to) in her overview.
