Klappentext
Science, the Singular, and the Question of Theology explores the role that the singular plays in the theories of science of Robert Grosseteste, Thomas Aquinas, Duns Scotus, William of Ockham, Marsilius of Inghen, and Pierre d'Ailly. It pursues the question specifically in relation to the question of whether theology is a science. The work argues that the main issue in debates concerns whether theology is a science and how to provide a 'rational ground' for existing singulars. Science, the Singular, and the Question of Theology exposes how, on the eve of modernity, existing singulars were freed from the constraints of rational ground.
The question of whether or not theology is a science or a philosophy still rages in the religion field and Lee's book looks at the roots of that argument
The New Middle Ages series has a good sales record
Covers major medieval thinkers including Thomas Aquinas and William of Ockham
