Creation As Emanation - The Origin of Diversity in Albert Great s on Causes Procession of

Informationen zum Autor Thérèse Bonin is associate professor and acting chair of philosophy at Duquesne University. Klappentext Creation as Emanation examines Albert's reading of The Book of Causes with an eye toward two questions: First! how does Albert view the relation between faith and reason! so that he can identify creation from nothing with emanation from God? And second! how does he understand Platonism and Aristotelianism! so that he can avoid the misreadings of his fellow theologians by finding in a late-fifth-century Neoplatonist the key to Aristotle's meaning?
