Description
A Hidden Wisdom: Medieval Contemplatives on Self-Knowledge, Reason, Love, Persons, and Immortality by Christina van Dyke. This book offers a fresh perspective on medieval philosophy, focusing on the Christian contemplative tradition. From 1200 to 1500, mystical and contemplative literature flourished in the 'Christian West', with both laypeople and religious scholars contributing to these discussions. A Hidden Wisdom explores five key topics: self-knowledge, reason and its limits, love and the will, persons, and immortality and the afterlife. By examining the contributions of medieval women and reuniting scholasticism with contemplative philosophy, van Dyke provides a more accurate understanding of medieval Christian thought. This book is not a comprehensive study, but rather a representative sampling of key texts and ideas, offering a new lens through which to view these works.
