Recenzii
I find most of the interpretative claims that Adams defends in Housing the Powers convincing. I am confident that her book will soon become standard reading for anyone working on Latin medieval theories of causal powers.
The greatest strength of the book is Adams's almost ruthless way of getting to the bottom of things: she sees where certain seemingly innocuous claims eventually lead and chases disagreements to their ultimate source-which can be a rather difficult task in the case of the authors under consideration, who share a basic theological outlook as well as a broadly speaking Aristotelian background. This ruthlessness makes the discussion of these otherwise relatively well-known issues unique and fascinating.
