Description
Interpreting Buridan: Critical Essays provides a comprehensive examination of Jean Buridan’s influential philosophical work and enduring legacy. Edited by Spencer Johnston and Henrik Lagerlund, this volume brings together leading international scholars to analyze Buridan’s contributions to medieval logic, metaphysics, natural philosophy, and epistemology.
Buridan, a 14th-century master at the University of Paris, developed sophisticated theories on concepts, universals, causation, and motion that significantly influenced later European thought. The essays in this collection address key interpretive questions about his philosophy, including his innovative approach to logic and his responses to Aristotelian natural philosophy.
This work is essential for scholars of medieval philosophy, intellectual history, and the development of Western thought. It offers fresh perspectives on how Buridan’s ideas shaped subsequent philosophical traditions and addresses contemporary scholarly debates about his most important contributions to logic and metaphysics.
