Medieval philosophy : an introduction

This classic introduction by a noted scholar compresses much of substance into comparatively little space, offering students and general readers an insightful, accessible survey of the major philosophical trends and thinkers of the Middle Ages. In 200 pages, the text basically covers the thought of ten centuries ... "clearly no light task," says the Times Literary Supplement of London, adding that "this is a careful and erudite book, full of patience and tolerance, catholic in every sense of the word."
