Abelard in Four Dimensions

Exploring the multifaceted influence of Peter Abelard, this work delves into his philosophical contributions across four dimensions: his historical predecessors, the context of his writings, their impact through the seventeenth century, and their relevance in contemporary philosophical discourse. John Marenbon, a prominent medieval philosophy scholar, offers fresh interpretations that illuminate Abelard's enduring significance and the evolution of his thought, making it a vital resource for understanding both the past and present of philosophical inquiry.
