Publisher's Summary

Why do good things happen to bad people? Can we prove whether God exists? What is the difference between right and wrong? Medieval philosophers were centrally concerned with such questions, questions which are as relevant today as a thousand years ago when the likes of Anselm and Aquinas sought to resolve them.

In this fast-paced and enlightening guide, Sharon M. Kaye takes us on a whistle-stop tour of medieval philosophy, revealing the debt it owes to Aristotle and Plato, and showing how medieval thought is still inspiring philosophers and thinkers today. With new translations of numerous key extracts, Kaye directly introduces the listener to the philosophers' writings and the criticisms levied against them. This is an entertaining and comprehensive primer for students and general readers alike.

Easy to understand and interesting.

This audible book is well presented and easy to listen to. The content is fascinating and is a good introduction to medieval philosophy yet also gave me the thirst to learn more about the subject following on from this introduction. Good examples are given throughout to make it easier to understand and the style of writing flows well. I have enjoyed the audible so much they I have now ordered the book to re read.
