 Aims
By the end of the advanced course, students will have been introduced to the methods used for research in medieval philosophy (manipulation of necessary research tools in this field: dictionaries, encyclopaedias, CD-ROMs, reference works, source research, statistical and lexicographical methods, other principles of medieval hermeneutics) by participating in a research project conducted by the lecturers of this course. They will also have learned how to work in a team in the context of a project extended over several years.
Main themes
The advanced course will address current themes in research in medieval philosophy that can open up a global view of philosophical and theological currents of thought in the Middle Ages (examples of themes addressed in recent years: happiness, time, the literary genre of quodlibetic questions, the intensification of the forms, the status of the body and the soul).
