Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book is a sweeping, vivid journey through one of the most creative and influential currents in Western thought. From the humble beginnings of Francis of Assisi's radical spiritual movement emerges a cast of brilliant theologians, philosophers, mystics, scientists, and reformers who reshaped the medieval world-and laid foundations for the Renaissance and modernity.Across twenty richly detailed chapters, the book brings to life the great Franciscan masters: Alexander of Hales, the architect of the first Franciscan school; Bonaventure, the Seraphic Doctor whose mystical vision united philosophy and devotion; Roger Bacon, the explosive pioneer of experimental science; John Pecham, who blended theology with groundbreaking optical theory; Peter John Olivi and Angelo Clareno, fiery prophets of poverty and reform; Duns Scotus, the Subtle Doctor whose metaphysics and Christocentrism transformed theology; William of Ockham, the razor¿wielding logician who helped launch modern philosophy; and the conceptualists and epistemologists-Wodeham, Auriol, and others-who pushed medieval thought into new terrain.Rather than a dry academic survey, this book reads like an intellectual adventure. It reveals how Franciscan thinkers wrestled with the deepest questions of their age: What is the nature of reality How do we know What does it mean to be free How should the Church wield power What is the destiny of creation Their answers-sometimes harmonious, sometimes fiercely contested-shaped universities, politics, science, and spirituality for centuries.At the same time, the book highlights the human drama behind the ideas: the university controversies, the poverty debates that shook the Church, the exile of dissident friars, the mystical visions on mountaintops, the scientific experiments in monastic workshops, and the philosophical revolutions that echoed across Europe.The result is a portrait of a tradition that is both unified and astonishingly diverse-rooted in the Gospel, yet intellectually fearless; grounded in humility, yet bold enough to challenge popes and emperors; contemplative, yet passionately engaged with the world.For readers of medieval history, philosophy, theology, or the history of ideas, this book offers a compelling narrative and a fresh appreciation of how the Franciscan imagination helped shape the modern mind. It is a story of brilliance, conflict, devotion, and innovation-an unforgettable exploration of a tradition whose influence continues to resonate today.…
