It shows that the philosophy of Epicurus and his heirs, from antiquity to the classical age, founded a rigorous and coherent conception of knowledge.

The primary philosophical concern of the present study is the in-depth investigation of the concept of place established by Philoponus, putting forward the clai...

A Study with Editions of Unpublished Texts
2024 || Hardcover || Luca Burzelli || Leuven University Press

One exception to this generalization is found in the work of the American scholar John P. Doyle, whose ground-breaking studies of several important areas of Suarez's complex but highly original system of thought have helped to make the Jesuit's ideas accessible to several generations of histor...
