"Another strength of the book is Koterski's skillful way of
motivating philosophical interest in concepts and ideas that might
otherwise seem arcane to the beginner . . .Koterski gives a thought
provoking analysis of several basic concepts that permeate medieval
thought and provides a thorough account of the varied sources that
influenced reasoning about these concepts." (American Catholic
Philosophical Quarterly, 1 October 2010)
"Strikingly clear, succinct, and erudite, this book will be treasured by beginners and established scholars alike. As the relationship of religious faith and the human sciences becomes an ever more pressing societal issue, contemporary philosophers will greatly benefit from Koterski's masterful exposition of the insights of medieval thinkers."
–Matthew Levering, Ave Maria University

introduce key themes that still dominate Western philosophy. No
serious student of philosophy or theology should miss reading this
book."
