Learning objectives

The course is addressed to students who are already acquainted with Medieval Philosophy. The purpose of the course is to examine a topic that is significant both from an historico-philosophical and from a historiographical point of view.

Prerequisites

None in particular, except for a general acquaintance with the history of Medieval Philosophy

Course unit content

In recent years there has been a revival of the historiographical debate concerning the nature of Thomas Aquinas' theory of knowledge, whether it has to be explained as a kind of representationalism or, rather, direct realism. The purpose of the course is to reconstruct such a debate and to examine the most significant texts from Aquinas' works concerning his theory of knowledge.
