MoreLong description:
This book is a major contribution to the history of philosophy in the later medieval period (1250-1350). It focuses on cognitive theory, a subject of intense investigation during these years. In fact many of the issues that dominate philosophy of mind and epistemology today - intentionality, mental representation, scepticism, realism - were hotly debated in the later medieval period. The book offers a careful analysis of these debates, primarily through the work of Thomas Aquinas, John Olivi, and William Ockham. Each of these figures attempts to reconceptualise cognition along direct realist lines, criticising in the process the standard Aristotelian account. Though of primary interest to medieval philosophers, the book presupposes no background knowledge of the medieval period, and will therefore interest a broader community of philosophers concerned with the origins of contemporary cognitive theory.
"This is a...sophisticated piece of work,...which well repays the effort put into reading it. Pasnau's knowledge of his subject is deep, and he leads his reader carefully through the same paths as he has taken to achieve this understanding. he brings out well the importance of medieval accounts and their similarities to modern ones.... Highly recommended." Richarrd Cross, Int'l Philosophical Qtrly
