More about the book

Focusing on medieval philosophy, this volume delves into the intellectual competition among nominalists and other philosophical schools in twelfth-century Paris, the contributions of 'modist' thinkers in the late thirteenth century, and the emergence of John Buridan's new nominalism in the fourteenth century. Sten Ebbesen's revised essays provide a comprehensive examination of these pivotal developments, highlighting the evolution of thought during this transformative period in philosophy.
