PHI 254 - Medieval Philosophy


How can I reconcile my religious beliefs with what I know about the world? Can we know about God apart from faith? What is the nature of the human being and his/her place in the universe? These and other questions filled the hearts and minds of the philosophers of medieval times who viewed faith and reason as partners in human experience. This course will examine the thought of Augustine, Anslem, Bonaventura, Aquinas, and others as they reflect upon humanity’s place in the universe. The Jewish and Arabian philosophers of this period will also be discussed. Recommended: either PHI 124 , PHI 154 , or department approval.
