Intentionality, Cognition, and Mental Representation in Medieval Philosophy [electronic resource] /
Klima, Gyula,editor.
New York : Fordham University Press,
2015.
The essays in this volume explore the intricacies and varieties of the conceptual relationships among intentionality, cognition, and mental representation as conceived by some of the greatest mediaeval philosophers, including Aquinas, Scotus, Ockham, and Buridan, as well as some of their lesser-known but still influential contemporaries. The clarification of these conceptual connections sheds new light not only on the intriguing historical relationships between mediaeval and modern thought on these issues, but also on some fundamental questions in the philosophy of mind as it is conceived today.
