INCARNATING Introduction I Assume I Know I Suffer Bibliography Notes IndexReviewsHere we have Robert Kilwardby in full: his metaphysics, psychology, logic, ethics, and theology. And because Kilwardby stands in the middle of late medieval philosophy, we get in effect a picture of that field in full, as it stands at the dawn of its greatest figures. If anyone is going to make the case for Kilwardby as a deserving member in the club of Great Medieval Thinkers, it will be Jose Filipe Silva. * Robert Pasnau, University of Colorado Boulder * Silva succeeds in covering the different areas of Kilwardby's work - logic, metaphysics, perception, ethics and theology - concisely yet thoroughly. For the first time, readers of this book will be able to grasp as whole the thought of this fascinating, and until recently neglected, contemporary of Aquinas. * John Marenbon, Trinity College, University of Cambridge * Silva's book is a very substantial introduction to Robert Kilwardby. It provides a much-needed overview of the philosophical and theological thought of this medieval thinker, and makes a very compelling case for its significance to the history of medieval thought. Based on a thorough investigation of the entire vast corpus of this thinker, Silva's presentation shows the richness, sophistication, and originality of Kilwardby's thought. Silva does indeed do full justice to the inclusion of Kilwardby among the great medieval thinkers. * Cecilia Trifogli, Professor of Medieval Philosophy, University of Oxford * Silva's book is a very substantial introduction to Robert Kilwardby.
