59Basic Issues in Medieval Philosophy, Second Edition: Selected Readings Presenting Interactive Discourse Among the Major Figures (edited book)Broadview Press. 2006.In this important collection, the editors argue that medieval philosophy is best studied as an interactive discussion between thinkers working on very much the same problems despite being often widely separated in time or place. Each section opens with at least one selection from a classical philosopher, and there are many points at which the readings chosen refer to other works that the reader will also find in this collection. There is a considerable amount of material from central figures suc…Read more
