Dear Everyone, Here is a double announcement, of interest to all involved with medieval philosophy. First, this FRIDAY, from 14.00 to 16.00, in the Wolfson Seminar Room North, Trinity College there will be a paper, followed by discussion, on ‘Abaelard on Grounding’, by Christopher Martin, University of Auckland. Professor Martin is probably the world’s leading expert on Abelard and one of the leading interpreters of medieval logic. Second, our regular sessions of the Medieval Philosophy Reading Group continue this term, on Wednesdays, 13.15-14.15, starting Wednesday 25 January (NEXT WEEK, NOT THIS WEEK). In the Lent Term, we study one of the set texts for the Philosophy in the Long Middle Ages paper (Philosophy Tripos, Part II): this time it will be Aquinas, Summa Theologiae I, qq. 85-89. You can find a translation of it (and the rest of the Summa Theologiae) on-line at http://dhspriory.org/thomas/summa/ <http://dhspriory.org/thomas/summa/> . You can find the Latin text (together with Latin texts of all Aquinas’s other writings) at www.corpusthomisticum.org <http://www.corpusthomisticum.org/> . I shall introduce the first session, in which we shall begin to look at q. 85. These sessions will also take place in the Wolfson Seminar Room North (where we met last term). For those of you unfamiliar with this location: enter Whewell’s Court, Trinity College (opposite the Great Gate, next to Heffers. Walk through the first courtyard and you will see a modern building on your right. This is the Wolfson Building. If you take the lift, it will tell you which floor to choose for the ‘seminar rooms’. The entrance to the North Seminar Room is right by the lift. Everyone is welcome to both the talk and the reading group sessions.
