商品簡介
Scholars of philosophy, primarily from Nordic countries, but also North America and Australia, explore the continuity between medieval and modern philosophy of the mind, medieval and early modern psychology of action, and ancient and medieval thinking on emotions and choice. Many have written articles and delivered talks on the same topics during the past few years, but these 12 essays were written specifically for the volume. Among the topics are the plurality of medieval explanations for the weakness of will, a nominalist ontology of the passions, and late scholastic theories of the passions as revealed by controversies in the Thomist tradition.
