About the Book

The third volume of The Cambridge Translations of Medieval Philosophical Texts will allow scholars and students access, for the first time in English, to major texts that form the debate over mind and knowledge at the center of medieval philosophy. Beginning with thirteenth-century attempts to classify the soul's powers and to explain the mind's place within the soul, the volume proceeds systematically to consider the scope of human knowledge and the role of divine illumination, intentionality and mental representation, and attempts to identify the object of human knowledge in terms of concepts and propositions. The authors included are Henry of Ghent, Peter John Olivi, William Alnwick, Peter Aureol, William Ockham, William Crathorn, Robert Holcot, Adam Wodeham as well as two anonymous Parisian masters of arts. This volume will be an important resource for scholars and students of medieval philosophy, history, theology and literature.

Table of Contents:
1. The soul and its powers Anonymous (arts master c.1225); 2. Questions on De anima I-II Anonymous (arts master c.1270); 3. Christ our one teacher Bonaventure; 4. Can a human being know anything (Summa quaestionum ordinariarum 1.1) Henry of Ghent; 5. Can a human being know anything without divine illumination? (Summa quaestionum ordinariarum 1.2) Henry of Ghent; 6. The mental word Peter John Olivi; 7. Intelligible being William Alnwick; 8. On intuitive and abstractive cognition (Scriptum, prooemium Q2) Peter Aureol; 9. Apparent being (Ordinatio I.27.3) William Ockham; 10. On the possibility of infallible knowledge (Sentences Q1) William Crathorn; 11. Can God know more than he knows? (Quodlibet I.6) Robert Holcot; 12. The objects of knowledge (Lectura secunda 1.1) Adam Wodeham.

Review :
"All medievalists should applaud the excellent work of Pasnau in providing a fine collection of translations that make late medieval writings on philosophy of mind and epistemology accessible to twenty-first-century students and scholars. This volume offers us all ample evidence of the great strides made by the philosophers and theologians of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries in the development of what we now know as 'cognitive science.'"
