Summary:

This series annually collects the best current work in the field of medieval philosophy. Each book features original chapters that contribute to an understanding of a wide range of themes and problems in all aspects of the field, from late antiquity into the Renaissance, and extending over the Jewish, Islamic, and Christian traditions. Material published includes analyses, extended book reviews, translations, commentaries, and editions of texts. This volume contains the following chapters: Cary Nederman on the medieval roots of modern toleration; Stephen Ogden on how Averroes does not argue for a single separate intellect; John Hawthorne on Scotus’s theory of universals; Jeff Steele on the irrelevance of aesthetic considerations to Scotus’s theory of natural law; David Sanson and Ahmed Alwishah on Al-Taftāzānī’s treatment of the liar paradox; Jacob Tuttle on Suarez’s theory of efficient causation; Brian Embry on a late-scholastic theory of truthmakers; Thomas Ward’s critical review of Jeffrey Brower’s recent book on Aquinas; and a response by Turner Nevitt to a recent paper by Adam Wood on Aquinas’s account of “gappy” existence.
