Characterized by many historically significant events, such as the
invention of the printing press, the discovery of the New World,
and the Protestant Reformation, the years between 1300 and 1600 are
a remarkably rich source of ideas about the mind. They witnessed a
resurgence of Aristotelianism and Platonism and the development of
humanism. However, philosophical understanding of the complex
arguments and debates during this period remain difficult to grasp.
Philosophy of Mind in the Late Middle Ages and Renaissance provides
an outstanding survey of philosophy of mind in this fascinating and
still controversial period and examines the thought of figures such
as Aquinas, Suarez, and Ficino. Following an introduction by
Stephan Schmid, thirteen specially commissioned chapters by an
international team of contributors discuss key topics, thinkers,
and debates, including: mind and method, the mind and its
illnesses, the powers of the soul, Averroism, intentionality and
representationalism, theories of (self-)consciousness, will and its
freedom, external and internal senses, Renaissance theories of the
passions, the mind-body problem and the rise of dualism, and the
'cognitive turn'. Essential reading for students and researchers in
philosophy of mind, medieval philosophy, and the history of
philosophy, Philosophy of Mind in the Late Middle Ages and
Renaissance is also a valuable resource for those in related
disciplines such as religion, literature, and Renaissance studies.
