Opis

Science, the Singular, and the Question of Theology explores the role that the singular plays in the theories of science of Robert Grosseteste, Thomas Aquinas, Duns Scotus, William of Ockham, Marsilius of Inghen, and Pierre dAilly. Confronting the scientific status of theology, Lee argues that the main issue is how to provide a rational ground for existing singulars. The book exposes how, on the eve of modernity, existing singulars were freed from the constraints of rational ground.
