Philosophizing in the Middle Age: Contexts, Texts and Subjects

This introductory course aims to answer the following questions: what does it mean to be a philosopher in the

Middle Age? What kind of texts can be called philosophical in the Middle Age, and are there many literary genres, which can fit in the definition of philosophical? We will read texts by different authors (scholastics, laymen, erudites, court writers) in order to prove the variety and richness of medieval philosophical thought.

Structure of the course: reading/discussion of texts (in English or in Latin: in the second case, we will translate them and work on them together. No previous knowledge of Latin is required).
