  • The Role of Conciliar Canons in Shaping Ecclesiastical Identity in the Middle Ages
    William Ford

  • Albert the Great’s Natural Philosophy and the Medieval Integration of Aristotle
    William Ford
    The recovery of a Catholic intellectual vision of nature requires returning to the moment in Western history when the Church first confronted, absorbed, purified, and elevated the most powerful body of pagan philosophical thought it had ever encountered.

  • John Buridan and the Intellectual Vitality of the Fourteenth Century
    William Ford
    To approach the fourteenth century with fresh eyes is to confront a paradox. On the one hand, it is an age often dismissed in popular imagination as a period of decline, fragmentation, and intellectual exhaustion. The Black Death, the Avignon Papacy, the Western Schism, and the political upheavals of the era have cast long shadows over its reputation. On the other hand, a close...
