REISS, T. J., Knowledge, Discovery and Imagination in Early Modern Europe. Cambridge University Press, 1997. 262p. Hardback. Series: Cambridge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture, 15. Recent explanations of changes in early modern European thought speak much of a move from orality and emphasis on language to print culture and a 'spatial' way of thinking. Timothy J. Reiss offers a more complex explanation for the massive changes that occurred. He describes how by the late fifteenth century the language arts of the trivium had come to seem useful only for communication, teaching and public debate, and how humanists turned to the mathematical arts of the quadrivium - including music - to enable new means and methods of discovery. Reiss goes on to argue that the new 'mathematical' ideal formed the basis of wide sociocultural renewal; he analyses Northern vernacular grammars, examines the work of French and Italian mathematicians, musicians and philosophers including Descartes, and censures such modern commonplaces as the supposed impact of print and 'spatial' thinking. He ends by exploring the broad impact of this 'mathematisation' of the Western imagination. (Publisher's information). € 101.96 (New) (MD)

COOLMAN, B. T., Knowledge, Love, and Ecstasy in the Theology of Thomas Gallus. Oxford University Press, 2017. 286p. Hardback. Series: Changing Paradigms in Historical and Systematic Theology. Analytically, Coolman's assessment of Gallus is clear, well written, and engaging, though highly technical, and would likely be a resource for graduate students and professors of theology and philosophy...

FUMERTON, R., Knowledge, Thought, and the Case for Dualism: Volume 0, Part 0. Cambridge University Press, 2013. 295p. Hardback. Series: Cambridge Studies in Philosophy. The relationship between mind and matter, mental states and physical states, has occupied the attention of philosophers for thousands of years. Richard Fumerton's primary concern is the knowledge argument for dualism - an argument that proceeds from the idea that we can know truths about our existence and our mental states without knowing any truths about the physical world. This view has come under relentless criticism, but here Fumerton makes a powerful case for its rehabilitation, demonstrating clearly the importance of its interconnections with a wide range of other controversies within philosophy. Fumerton analyzes philosophical views about the nature of thought and the relation of those views to arguments for dualism, and investigates the connection between a traditional form of foundationalism about knowledge, and a foundationalist view about thought that underlies traditional arguments for dualism. His book will be of great interest to those studying epistemology and the philosophy of mind. (Publisher's information). € 78.89 (New) (MD)
