In this important collection, the editors argue that medieval
philosophy is best studied as an interactive discussion between
thinkers working on very much the same problems despite being often
widely separated in time or place. Each section opens with at least
one selection from a classical philosopher, and there are many
points at which the readings chosen refer to other works that the
reader will also find in this collection. There is a considerable
amount of material from central figures such as Augustine, Abelard,
Duns Scotus, and William of Ockham, as well as extensive texts from
thinkers in the medieval Islamic world. Each selection is prefaced
by a brief introduction by the editors, providing a philosophical
and religious background to help make the material more accessible
to the reader.This edition, updated throughout, contains a
substantial new chapter on medieval psychology and philosophy of
mind, with texts from authors not previously represented such as
John Buridan and Peter John Olivi.
