The Cambridge companion to medieval logic

Research output: Book/ReportBook

Abstract

This volume, the first dedicated and comprehensive Companion
to Medieval Logic, covers both the Latin and the Arabic traditions
and shows that they were in fact sister traditions, which both
arose against the background of a Hellenistic heritage and which
influenced one another over the centuries. A series of chapters by
both established and younger scholars covers the whole period
including early and late developments, and offers new insights
into this extremely rich period in the history of logic. The volume
is divided into two parts, ‘Periods and Traditions’ and ‘Themes’,
allowing readers to engage with the subject from both historical and
more systematic perspectives. It will be a must- read for students
and scholars of medieval philosophy, the history of logic, and the
history of ideas.
