THEO 315 Studies in the Franciscan School of Philosophy

The ideas and philosophers who made significant contributions to the origin and development of Franciscan philosophy are examined within the context of medieval thought. Such figures as Bonaventure, Duns Scotus, and Roger Bacon are studied. Themes to be treated include the nature of divine being, the relation of the soul to God, reason and faith, and the problem of universals. These themes are explored within the Franciscan tradition and are compared to the Thomistic tradition.
