This volume features essays that explore the insights of the
14th-century Parisian nominalist philosopher, John Buridan. It
serves as a companion to the Latin text edition and annotated
English translation of his question-commentary on Aristotle's On
the Soul. The contributors survey Buridan's work both in its own
historical-theoretical context and in relation to contemporary
issues. The essays come in three main sections, which correspond to
the three books of Buridan's Questions. Coverage first deals with
the classification of the science of the soul within the system of
Aristotelian sciences, and surveys the main issues within it. The
next section examines the metaphysics of the soul. It considers
Buridan's peculiar version of Aristotelian hylomorphism in dealing
with the problem of what kind of entity the soul (in particular,
the human soul) is, and what powers and actions it has, on the
basis of which we can approach the question of its essence. The
volume concludes with a look at Buridan's doctrine of the nature
and functions of the human intellect. Coverage in this section
includes the problem of self-knowledge in Buridan's theory,
Buridan's answer to the traditional medieval problem concerning the
primary object of the intellect, and his unique treatment of
logical problems in psychological contexts.
