This volume offers a reassessment of the philosophy of Peter
Abelard (1079-1142) which argues that he was not, as usually
presented, a predominantly critical thinker but a constructive one.
By way of evidence the author offers new analyses of
frequently-discussed topics in Abelard's philosophy, and examines
other areas such as the nature of substances and accidents,
cognition, the definition of good and evil, virtues and merit, and
practical ethics in detail for the first time. Part One discusses
Abelard's life and works, including questions of chronology and
canon (including the question of the authenticity of the
correspondence with Heloise). Part Two analyzes Abelard's ontology,
epistemology and semantics, showing how he tried to reconstruct the
ideas he had learned from Aristotle, Porphyry and Boethius to fit
his presumption that there is nothing which is not a particular.
Part Three analyzes Abelard's ethical theory, arguing that it is
far wider and more sophisticated than has been believed.
