PHL.2072 Medieval Philosophy
The most important philosophical problems for medievals concerned matters of faith, and the relation between faith and human reason. Can we rationally prove that God exists? Just what does it mean for God to be transcendent? Can the human mind know God? What is the relation between man and God? Are human beings free? This course is an introduction to these problems, and to the great medieval systems of thought that were constructed in order to answer them.
