Recenzii
This volume is important for recognizing the value of medieval philosophy and its place in Western intellectual history. Scholarly yet accessible, the book will be embraced by both specialists and generalists, including those who wish to expand their interests beyond texts assigned in most introductory philosophy courses. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.
Stephen Boulter's book provides a cogent answer to the question of why medieval philosophy matters, by making the case that the scholastics had a distinctive and strong sense of their identity and utility within society as philosophers - a sense that has to some degree been forgotten in the modern era. The medievals saw themselves as usefully engaged in addressing important questions arising within the sciences and explored within society at large; their texts paradigmatically convey to the reader a sense of the value of philosophy and of the philosopher's intellectual responsibilities and goals within society at large. The book will be a useful read for anyone, including those who might want to critically engage with its overall argument.
This stimulating and highly original book makes a powerful case for the relevance of medieval philosophy to the methodology and content of contemporary natural sciences. It will be read with profit and great interest by all interested in medieval philosophy and its significance for the modern world.
