This volume examines a selection of late medieval works devoted to
the intensive infinite in order to draw a comprehensive picture of
the context, character and importance of scholastic efforts to
reason philosophically about divine infinity. As Dominican masters
face Franciscan 'spirituals' and as university-trained theologians
face evangelical laymen, the purpose and meaning of divine infinity
shift, reflecting a basic tension between the Church's Petrine
vocation for geopolitical orthodoxy and its more Pauline mission to
promote Christian orthopraxis. The first part of the book traces
the scholastic defense of divine infinity from the holocaust of
Montsegur up to John Duns Scotus. The second part examines the
semiotic breakthrough initiated by William of Ockham and the
subsequent penetration of infinist theory into a wide variety of
disciplines.
