Universals in Second Scholasticism (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

This study aims to present a comparative analysis of philosophical theories of universals espoused by the foremost representatives of the three main schools of early modern scholastic thought. The book introduces the doctrines of Francisco Suarez, S.J. (1548 1617), the Thomist John of St. Thomas, O.P. (1589 1644), and the Scotists Bartolomeo Mastri da Meldola, O.F.M. Conv. (1602 1673) and Bonaventura Belluto, O.F.M. Conv. (1600 1676). The author examines in detail their mutual doctrinal delineation as well as the conceptualist tenet of the Jesuit Pedro Hurtado de Mendoza (1578 1641), whose thought constitutes an important systematic point of comparison especially with Suarez s doctrine. The book offers the first comparative elaboration of the issue of universals, in both its metaphysical and its epistemological aspects, in the era of second scholasticism.
