Description
This volume presents fourteen of William E. Mann's essays on Augustine, Anselm, and Peter Abelard. The topics include Augustine on infant behavior, juvenile wrongdoing, the moral status of plays and dreams, and the problem of evil.
Ultimately, Mann's volume is a philosophically stimulating collection, and his emphasis on perplexity throughout serves as a welcome reminder that the questions we raise can be as consequential as the ones we manage to answer.
William E. Mann received his Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Minnesota. Having previously taught at St. Olaf College and Illinois State University, he has been a professor in the University of Vermont's Department of Philosophy since 1974, retiring as Marsh Professor of Intellectual and Moral Philosophy in 2010. His areas of specialization include the philosophy of religion, ancient philosophy and medieval philosophy. He also has interests in logic, the philosophy of logic, ethics and metaphysics. Professor Mann's most recent published work includes essays on the interpretation of Augustine and various medieval philosophers and a series of essays in philosophical theology.
