Abelard in Four Dimensions: A Twelfth-Century Philosopher in His
Context and Ours by John Marenbon, one of the leading scholars of
medieval philosophy and a specialist on Abelard's thought,
originated from a set of lectures in the distinguished Conway
Lectures in Medieval Studies series and provides new
interpretations of central areas of Peter Abelard's philosophy and
its influence. The four dimensions of Abelard to which the title
refers are that of the past (Abelard's predecessors), present (his
works in context), future (the influence of his thinking up to the
seventeenth century), and the present-day philosophical culture in
which Abelard's works are still discussed and his arguments
debated. For readers new to Abelard, this book provides an
introduction to his life and works along with discussion of his
central ideas in semantics, ethics, metaphysics, and philosophy of
religion. For specialists, the book contains new arguments about
the authenticity and chronology of Abelard's logical work, fresh
evidence about his relations with Anselm and Hugh of St. Victor, a
new understanding of how he combines the necessity of divine action
with human freedom, and reinterpretations of important passages in
which he discusses semantics and metaphysics. For all historians of
philosophy, it sets out and illustrates a new methodological
approach, which can be used for any thinker in any period and will
help to overcome the divisions between "historians" based in
philosophy departments and scholars with historical or philological
training.
