Synopsis

The present book is a continuation of the first volume, published under the same title by Academicon Publishing in 2023. Like the first volume, this one is a collection of essays published on the filozofuj.eu philosophy portal between 2023 and 2026. Each volume, as well as each individual essay, constitutes a distinct whole and can be read independently of the others.nnThe essays presented here focus primarily on figures and phenomena from the history of philosophy, mainly from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. At the same time, the author has sought to show how the issues explored by thinkers of this period are rooted in antiquity, both pagan and Christian, and how they can inspire our approach to and interpretation of contemporary thought, culture, and literature. For this reason, alongside fascinating philosophical texts, the book also contains references to works of literature that the author values and enjoys.
