Philosophie und Theologie des ausgehenden Mittelalters: Marsilius von Inghen und das Denken seiner Zeit

He combines in his writings different intellectual traditions such as Nominalism and Thomism, which he shaped into what came to be known after his death as the via marsiliana . His works on logic and his commentaries on Aristotle were widely used as textbooks at the late-medieval universities and his commentary on the Sentences played a significant role in 16th-century Spanish scholasticism. This volume explores the thinking of Marsilius from a number of perspectives. Part one examines the background of his philosophy and theology, while part two discusses his writings. The final section of the book is devoted to the looking at the impact of Marsilius’ thought. The text also contains essays accompanied by editions from the manuscripts of original works.
