Chris Schabel presents a detailed analysis of the radical solution
given by the Franciscan Peter Auriol to the problem of reconciling
divine foreknowledge with the contingency of the future, and of
contemporary reactions to it. Auriol's solution appeared to many of
his contemporaries to deny God's knowledge of the future
altogether, and so it provoked intense and long-lasting
controversy; Schabel is the first to examine in detail the
philosophical and theological background to Auriol's discussion,
and to provide a full analysis of Auriol's own writings on the
question and the immediate reactions to them. This book sheds new
light both on one of the central philosophical debates of the
Middle Ages, and on theology and philosophy at the University of
Paris in the first half of the 14th century, a period of Parisian
intellectual life which has been largely neglected until now.
