Self-knowledge is commonly thought to have become a topic of
serious philosophical inquiry during the early modern period.
Already in the thirteenth century, however, the medieval thinker
Thomas Aquinas developed a sophisticated theory of self-knowledge,
which Therese Scarpelli Cory presents as a project of reconciling
the conflicting phenomena of self-opacity and privileged
self-access. Situating Aquinas's theory within the
mid-thirteenth-century debate and his own maturing thought on human
nature, Cory investigates the kinds of self-knowledge that Aquinas
describes and the questions they raise. She shows that to a degree
remarkable in a medieval thinker, self-knowledge turns out to be
central to Aquinas's account of cognition and personhood, and that
his theory provides tools for considering intentionality,
reflexivity and selfhood. Her engaging account of this neglected
aspect of medieval philosophy will interest readers studying
Aquinas and the history of medieval philosophy more generally.
