Description
Medieval philosophy offers a rich and diverse period in the history of thought. In this Very Short Introduction, John Marenbon explores how medieval philosophy encompasses Christian, Muslim, and Jewish traditions that all trace back to the Platonic schools of late antiquity. Marenbon examines the key thinkers and topics of medieval philosophy, including universals, mind, body, and mortality, foreknowledge and freedom, and society and the best life. He provides an overview of the main institutions and literary forms of medieval philosophy, shedding light on the complex ways in which these traditions are interlinked. This book is part of the Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press, offering a concise and accessible introduction to this fascinating subject area.
