Robert Pasnau traces the developments of metaphysical thinking
through four rich but for the most part neglected centuries of
philosophy, running from the thirteenth century through to the
seventeenth. At no period in the history of philosophy, other than
perhaps our own, have metaphysical problems received the sort of
sustained attention they received during the later Middle Ages, and
never has a whole philosophical tradition come crashing down as
quickly and completely as did scholastic philosophy in the
seventeenth century. The thirty chapters work through various
fundamental metaphysical issues, sometimes focusing more on
scholastic thought, sometimes on the seventeenth century. Pasnau
begins with the first challenges to the classical scholasticism of
Bonaventure and Thomas Aquinas, runs through prominent figures like
John Duns Scotus and William Ockham, and ends in the seventeenth
century, with the end of the first stage of developments in
post-scholastic philosophy: on the continent, with Descartes and
Gassendi, and in England, with Boyle and Locke.
