Henry of Ghent's Summa of Ordinary Questions: Article One: On the Possibility of Knowing

Mehr zum Buch

"Henry of Ghent was the most important representative of the Neo-Augustinian thought in the late thirteenth century. His Summa, which represents his ordinary lectures at the University of Paris, affords an insight into the character of theology and philosophy in the years after the death of Aquinas. The first article of the Summa, translated here, is devoted to the possibility of human knowledge and provides a sophisticated attempt to combine an Aristotelian empiricism, Platonic exemplarism, and an Augustinian doctrine of divine illumination."--Jacket
