“More than any other living scholar of medieval philosophy, Gyula
Klima has influenced the way we read and understand philosophical
texts by showing how the questions they ask can be placed in a
modern context without loss or distortion. The key to his
approach is a respect for medieval authors coupled with a
commitment to regarding their texts as a genuine source of insight
on questions in metaphysics, theology, psychology, logic, and the
philosophy of language—as opposed to assimilating what they say
to modern doctrines, or using medieval discussions as a foil for
‘new and improved’ conceptual schemes.” Jack
Zupko, University of Alberta “Gyula Klima is widely recognized as
one of the world’s leading experts on thirteenth and
fourteenth-century Latin philosophy, with his own, distinctive
analytic approach, which brings out both the similarities and
differences between medieval and contemporary logic and
semantics.” John Marenbon, Trinity College,
University of Cambridge “Gyula Klima has been a towering
figure in the field of medieval philosophy for decades. His
influence comprises not only the scholarly results of his work, but
also intense and generous mentorship of students and junior
colleagues. This volume is a perfect reflection of the esteem that
he enjoys around the world, collecting excellent pieces by
established as well as up-and-coming scholars of medieval
philosophy.” Catarina Dutilh Novaes, Vrije
Universiteit Amsterdam “For four decades now, Gyula Klima has
been setting the standard among medievalists for philosophical
sophistication and historical rigor. This collection of
wide-ranging studies from leading scholars in the field offers a
worthy tribute to that legacy.” Robert Pasnau,
University of Colorado Boulder Gyula Klima is Professor of
Philosophy at Fordham University, and Senior Research Fellow,
Consultant, and the Director of Institute for the History of Ideas
of the Hungarian Research Institute in Budapest. In 2022,
the President of Hungary awarded him the Knight’s Cross of the
Hungarian Order of Merit, “in recognition of his outstanding
academic career, significant research work and exemplary
leadership.” In this volume, colleagues,
collaborators, and students celebrate Klima’s project
with new essays on Plotinus, Anselm, Aquinas, Buridan,
Ockham and others, exploring specific questions in philosophy
of mind, philosophy of language, metaphysics, and
logic.
