Vincent Giraud - Histoire de la Philosophie Music CD

Vincent Giraud, philosopher and professor at the University of Doshisha, invites us to approach Latin medieval thought from the angle of the fundamental concept of creation. The creation of all things was the basis of medieval reflections on many topics such as existence, goodness, and the idea of beauty. Over a period of almost a thousand years, the philosopher reveals a rich, evolving and dynamic thought process. From the Neoplatonic tradition to the Christianization by Saint Augustine and the effort made by Anselm of Canterbury to prove God in a rational way, the author reveals a spectacular movement of thought, carried by a medieval society that was ever-changing. Beyond the pleasure of hearing a thought so rich, it is enjoyable to philosophize on the being of things with medieval thinkers. Join Vincent Giraud as he presents these lessons.
