About The Book
Philosophy of Mind in the Late Middle Ages and Renaissance, edited by Stephan Schmid, is a remarkable scholarly volume that delves deep into the intellectual richness of the period between 1300 and 1600. Marked by groundbreaking events such as the invention of the printing press, the discovery of the New World, and the Protestant Reformation, this era sparked a profound evolution in human thought. It also saw the resurgence of Aristotelianism and Platonism alongside the rise of humanism, reshaping conceptions of the human mind.
Despite its intellectual wealth, this period presents complex philosophical arguments that are often challenging to interpret. This book addresses that challenge by offering a clear, comprehensive, and accessible overview of the philosophy of mind during the Late Middle Ages and Renaissance. It examines the influential ideas of thinkers like Thomas Aquinas, Francisco Suárez, and Marsilio Ficino, and explores the major debates and frameworks that laid the groundwork for modern philosophical inquiry.
With thirteen specially commissioned chapters from an international team of experts, the book covers a wide array of critical topics including mind and method, mental illness, the powers of the soul, intentionality, representationalism, theories of self-consciousness, free will, internal and external senses, Renaissance theories of the passions, the mind–body problem, and the rise of dualism.
This volume is an essential resource for students, scholars, and enthusiasts in philosophy of mind, medieval and Renaissance studies, religious thought, literature, and intellectual history. Deeply researched and richly informative, it offers an invaluable gateway to understanding one of the most formative periods in the history of human thought.
