For generations, early Franciscan thought has been widely regarded
as unoriginal: a mere attempt to systematize the longstanding
intellectual tradition of Augustine in the face of the rising
popularity of Aristotle. This volume brings together leading
scholars in the field to undertake a major study of the major
doctrines and debates of the so-called Summa Halensis (1236-45),
which was collaboratively authored by the founding members of the
Franciscan school at Paris, above all, Alexander of Hales, and John
of La Rochelle, in an effort to lay down the Franciscan
intellectual tradition or the first time. The contributions will
highlight that this tradition, far from unoriginal, laid the
groundwork for later Franciscan thought, which is often regarded as
formative for modern thought. Furthermore, the volume shows the
role this Summa played in the development of the burgeoning field
of systematic theology, which has its origins in the young
university of Paris. This is a crucial and groundbreaking study for
those with interests in the history of western thought and theology
specifically.
