Recenzje

"This is an excellent collection of up-to-the-minute discussions of medieval philosophy, organized thematically, by some of the very best scholars working in the field today. Accessible to non-specialists, it provides overviews of key areas in a manner that is rewarding to beginners and experts alike."
Peter King, University of Toronto, Canada

"The riches of medieval philosophy and its relevance to the contemporary philosophical reader have long been clear, but there are constantly new discoveries in the field. This book gathers together many of these discoveries by offering comprehensive treatment of the scholastic tradition in Latin Christendom. With a roster of expert authors including both younger and more established scholars, the volume provides insightful and nuanced discussions of a huge number of philosophical themes and will be of use to the general and more advanced reader."
Peter Adamson, Ludwig-Maximilians Universität, Germany, and King's College London, UK
