23Medieval Philosophy: A Very Short IntroductionOxford University Press UK. 2016.For many of us, the term 'medieval philosophy' conjures up the figure of Thomas Aquinas, and is closely intertwined with religion. In this Very Short Introduction John Marenbon shows how medieval philosophy had a far broader reach than the thirteenth and fourteenth-century universities of Christian Europe, and is instead one of the most exciting and diversified periods in the history of thought.Introducing the coexisting strands of Christian, Muslim, and Jewish philosophy, Marenbon shows how the…Read more

17Aristotelian logic, Platonism, and the context of early medieval philosophy in the WestAshgate/Variorum. 2000.Philosophy in the medieval Latin West before 1200 is often thought to have been dominated by Platonism. The articles in this volume question this view, by cataloguing, describing and investigating the tradition of Aristotelian logic during this period, examining its influence on authors usually placed within the Aristotelian tradition (Eriugena, Anselm, Gilbert of Poitiers), and also looking at some of the characteristics of early medieval Platonism. Abelard, the most brilliant logician of the a…Read more

24Abelard’s Changing Thoughts on Sameness and Difference in Logic and TheologyAmerican Catholic Philosophical Quarterly 81 (2): 229-250. 2007.The discussion of sameness and difference in the three versions of the Theologia has been analyzed by a number of recent writers.

By contrast, I argue that his views, which should be seen as developing and reaching their final form in the Theologia “sc…Read more

The book …Read more
