Philosophic Classics, Volume II: Medieval Philosophy

This anthology of readings in Western Medieval philosophy represents the towering medieval thinkers — Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, and William of Ockham — as well as other medieval figures. It features the best available translations of books — complete works or complete selections of works — which are both central to each philosopher's thought and are widely accepted as part of the "canon."
