It may seem difficult to fully grasp the contribution of the Latin Middle Ages to universal thought. Yet this is the challenge that Serge-Thomas Bonino takes on in this work: with rigor and clarity, he presents the theologians and philosophers who built the cathedral of medieval knowledge, and whose ideas have continued to irrigate the research of their successors ever since.
From Boethius to Nicholas of Cusa, via Anselm, Abelard, Thomas Aquinas, and William of Ockham, he places each of these giants in his cultural context and then traces the essential elements of his intellectual biography and his doctrinal teaching.
A fascinating and essential synthesis.
