7Juan Iribarne e Uraburu sobre lo voluntario, la voluntad y la naturalezaAnuario Filosófico 103-118. 2014.En este artículo el autor examina qué teoría de la voluntad se delinea en el Tractatus de actibus humanis escrito por Juan Iribarne Uraburu. La discusión abierta por Juan Iribarne acerca de la voluntad se sitúa en el contexto de los planteamientos tomistas de la península ibérica en el siglo XVII y manifiesta tanto continuidad como innovación dentro de la tradición escotista. La conclusión que se alcanza es que la teoría de Juan Iribarne muestra desacuerdos fundamentales que distinguen las teorí…Read more

32St. John Henry Newman, Cardinal Matthew of Aquasparta, and Bl. John Duns Scotus on Knowledge, Assent, Faith, and Non-Evident TruthsAmerican Catholic Philosophical Quarterly 94 (1): 73-89. 2020.While working on various medieval philosophers, I have noticed an affinity between their remarks on the reasonableness of accepting propositions that are not matters of proof and strict deduction and St. John Henry Newman’s remarks that we accept unconditionally and rightly everyday ordinary propositions without calibrating them to demonstrable arguments. In particular, Cardinal Matthew of Aquasparta and Blessed John Duns Scotus both claim there is a sense in which assent to everyday proposition…Read more

The Philosophy of William of Ockham: In the Light of its Principles (review)Review of Metaphysics 54 (4): 927-929. 2001.In this outstanding work, Fr. Armand Maurer has produced a study of Ockham’s philosophy that is evidently the product of years of reflection and analysis. The masterful command that Maurer has of the relevant primary and secondary sources, the adroit manner in which he marshals those sources to argue for a particularly delicate point of interpretation, and, above all, the clarity of his English prose distinguish the work as both a contribution to scholarship and an excellent resource for those j…Read more

Duns Scotus. Volume 1 in the series Great Medieval Thinkers (review)Review of Metaphysics 54 (3): 650-650. 2001.In this delightful and handy introduction, Professor Richard Cross of Oriel College, Oxford University, has provided students, researchers, and general readers with a guided tour to the theology of John Duns Scotus. Written in a direct and concise style, the volume allows readers to follow Scotuss rather sophisticated argumentation with remarkable ease. As Cross himself remarks in his preface to the volume, his intention is to construct an overview of Scotuss theological thought for the ordinary…Read more

7Augustine: Ancient Thought Baptized (review)Review of Metaphysics 49 (2): 430-430. 1995.In this book, John Rist aims to give a "fresh perspective" on the entire range of Augustine's thought so that Augustine may speak to us more readily. To the mind of the present reviewer, Rist has indeed succeeded in doing just that, although the contemporary perspective provided is largely one derived from the renewed interest taken by Anglo-American philosophers in the history of ancient and medieval philosophy; within the programmatic limits of such a perspective, the author has accomplished h…Read more

20Introduction to Medieval Logic. 2d ed (review)Review of Metaphysics 48 (3): 645-646. 1995.In this second edition of his critically acclaimed Introduction to Medieval Logic, Alexander Broadie has once again given general readers a clear and concise account of two fundamental areas of medieval logic: the theory of terms and the theory of consequences. Confining himself, in the main, to the major developments in logic from 1250 to 1500, Broadie presents medieval logic in a way that is more systematic than historical; yet his approach is remarkable for the manner in which it manages to c…Read more

15Theories of Cognition in the Later Middle Ages (review)Review of Metaphysics 52 (4): 967-969. 1999.In this remarkably ambitious book, Robert Pasnau has sought to trace out the story of medieval epistemology during its formative years, 1250 to 1350, and to draw conclusions both regarding the tenability of views advanced during the High Middle Ages and regarding the relation of medieval epistemology to early modern epistemology. In the history of cognitive theories, Pasnau discusses mainly the figures of Thomas Aquinas, Henry of Ghent, Peter John Olivi, and William of Ockham, although brief tre…Read more

70Habitual Intellectual Knowledge in Medieval PhilosophyProceedings of the American Catholic Philosophical Association 88 49-70. 2014.This lecture treats the theme of habitual cognition in both its commonplace and unusual senses in the tradition of ancient and medieval philosophy. Beginning with Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics and its teaching on habits, it traces how the ancient and medieval Peripatetic tradition received and developed the idea of habitual knowledge. The lecture then turns to three case-studies in which the notion of habitual knowledge is used in unusual senses: Aquinas’s treatment of self-knowledge; Scotus’s …Read more
