Readings in Medieval Philosophy by Andrew Schoedinger

Readings in Medieval Philosophy by Andrew Schoedinger

This anthology of medieval philosophy collects 54 readings - many of them not widely available - by the most important and influential Christian, Jewish, and Muslim philosophers of the middle ages. The readings are organized into nine thematic sections; the six readings comprising each section are arranged chronologically within it. Each reading is preceded by a biographical note on the author and by a brief explanatory epitome.

"This is a splendidly chosen anthologyIt allows me to give students passages from the four main authors under study (Augustine, Anselm, Aquinas, Bonaventure) on comparable themes, point them to related texts from others, all under one cover!"--Joseph Koterski, Fordham University "Good text, great selections."--James Bjornstad, Cedarville College "This book provides a well-structured framework for discussion of some of the central philosophical problems on the basis of medieval texts in the Christian, Jewish, and Islamic traditions."--Ivan Boh, Ohio State University "Exceptionally helpful for students and for nonspecialists, because it arranges substantial selections from the writings of interesting philosophers in a topical organizational scheme, and because it provides helpful introductory remarks by the editor."--Kenton Machina, Illinois State University "A balanced, useful selection of texts for any course in Medieval Philosophy."--Prof.George Kovacs, Florida International University "Superb text: Lengthy selections, with pithy introductions and extensive endnotes, in thematic clusters, just as they would be best used in a course.

Murnion, Ramapo College of New Jersey "An excellent, wide-ranging collection affording the student diverse points of entry into the medieval mind."--Rev.Gerald Twaddell, Thomas More College "This collection of reading is exceptionally helpful for students and nonspecialist, it arranges substantial selections from the writing of interesting philosophers in a topical organizational schene".--Kenton Machina,Illinois State University--Normal "This is a balanced, useful selection of texts for any course in medieval philosophy".--Prof. George KovacsFlorida International University--Miami "Excellent in every respect:translation, presentations,selections".--Bro.
