Reihe: Studien und Texte zur Geistesgeschichte des Mittelalters

This book is a gift to Stephen Brown in honor of his 75th birthday. The 35 contributions to this Festschrift are disposed in five parts: Metaphysics and Natural Philosophy, Epistemology and Ethics, Philosophy and Theology, Theological Questions, Text and Context. These five headings articulate Stephen Brown's underlying conception and understanding of medieval philosophy and theology, which the editors share: The main theoretical and practical issues of the 'long medieval' intellectual tradition are rooted in an epistemology and a metaphysics, which must be understood not as separated from theology but as being in a fruitful exchange with theological conceptions and questions; further, in order to understand the longue duree of this tradition of philosophical and theological discourse, scholars must engage the textual traditions that conveyed it.

Zielgruppe

All of those interested in the philosophy, theology and intellectual and institutional history from ca. 400 to 1700.
