Beyond Aquinas: When Philosophy Got Real
()
About this ebook
Did you think medieval philosophy was dry and irrelevant? Think again! Beyond Aquinas: When Philosophy Got Real takes you on an exciting journey exploring the intellectual revolution that shook the world of faith and reason in the late Middle Ages.
Meet the philosophical rebels – men like Duns Scotus and William of Ockham. Their bold ideas about God, reality, and knowledge challenged the neat and tidy systems of the past. With clear language and relatable examples, this book unpacks their fascinating debates and reveals their surprising relevance to how we think today.
Discover:
Why a focus on the individual mattered, paving the way for new ideas about science and political rights.
How questioning authority fueled the beginnings of the scientific revolution.
The complex dance between faith and reason: How thinkers grappled with this tension in ways that continue to resonate.
If you're intrigued by history, philosophy, or the big questions that never go away, this book is for you!
