Bøger i Ashgate Studies in Medieval Philosophy serien

Traces the historical roots of the cognitive sciences and examines pre-modern conceptualizations of the mind as presented in the tradition of commentaries on Aristotle's De anima from 1200 until 1650. This book explores medieval and Renaissance views on questions regarding the identity and nature of the mind and its relation to the material world.

Explores issues of relevance to the history of logic and semantics, and in particular connections and/or differences between Greek and Latin theory and scholarly procedures, with emphasis on late antiquity and the Middle Ages.

Explores issues in medieval philosophy from the time nominalists and other schools competed in twelfth-century Paris to the mature scholasticism of Boethius of Dacia, Radulphus Brito and other 'modist' thinkers of the late thirteenth century and, finally, the nominalism of John Buridan in the fourteenth century.

The problems of divine foreknowledge and future contingents can be put rather simply: how can God know the future without this entailing that the future come about necessarily? Chris Schabel's study dwells and expands upon this conundrum.
