ISBN: 9780521429078.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the first comprehensive study of the philosophical achievements of twelfth-century Western Europe. It is the collaboration of fifteen scholars whose detailed survey makes accessible the intellectual preoccupations of the period, with all texts cited in English translation throughout. After a discussion of the cultural context of twelfth-century speculation, and some of the main streams of thought - Platonic, Stoic, and Arabic - that quickened it, comes a characterisation of the new problems and perspectives of the period, in scientific inquiry, speculative grammar, and logic. This is followed by a closer examination of the distinctive features of some of the most innovative thinkers of the time, from Anselm and Abelard to the School of Chartres. A final section shows the impact of newly recovered works of Aristotle in the twelfth-century West.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45816256593973,"sku":"ByrdShop_0521429072","price":55.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780521429078_57f00eb1-4036-45e0-8392-49b0ff30eb16.jpg?v=1789528340","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/a-history-of-twelfthcentury-western-philosophy-9780521429078","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
