Publisher's Synopsis

Using Boccaccio's theory of poiesis as a focal point, shows how medieval thinkers did not polarize history and nature and had a way of calling humans natural without implying that they were bound by a universal or historical essence. Looks at the works of Augustine, Philo of Alexandria, Echhart, John Scotus, and others. Annotation c. by Book News,
