Accessible to non-specialists, it provides overviews of key areas in a manner that is rewarding to beginners and experts alike."Peter King, University of Toronto, Canada "The riches of medieval philosophy and its relevance to the contemporary philosophical reader have long been clear, but there are constantly new discoveries in the field. This book gathers together many of these discoveries by offering comprehensive treatment of the scholastic tradition in Latin Christendom.
