Book Description
Examining the influence of ancient Greek philosophy, as well as of the Arabian and Hebrew scholars who transmitted it, The A to Z of Medieval Philosophy and Theology presents the philosophy of the Christian West from the 9th to the early 17th century. This is accomplished through a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on the philosophers, concepts, issues, institutions, and events, making this an important reference for the study of the progression of human thought.
Editorial Reviews
Review
There is no index, but the cross-referencing is extensive. There are no article-specific references, but the bibliography is arranged in topical sections.
About the Author
Stephen F. Brown has spent over forty years teaching undergraduate and graduate students in the Theology Department at Boston College. He was recently honored by a Festschrift edited by Professors Kent Emery, Jr. (Notre Dame), Andreas Speer (Köln) and Russell L. Friedman (Leuven): Philosophy and Theology in the Long Middle Ages.
Juan Carlos Flores is a Professor at the University of Detroit Mercy. His doctoral dissertation focused on the doctrine of the Trinity in the writings of one of the outstanding late thirteenth-century theologians, Henry of Ghent. An updated version of this dissertation has been published under the title of Henry of Ghent: Metaphysics of the Trinity. Both authors are also editors of numerous medieval Latin philosophical and theological texts. In brief, the world of medieval thought is and has been the center of their teaching and research.
