Description

Explore the complex relationship between faith and doubt in the medieval world with Wonder and Skepticism in the Middle Ages. Part of the Routledge Research in Medieval Studies series, this book examines how medieval society responded to tales of the supernatural and various marvels. While many assume the Middle Ages was an era of pure credulity, Keagan Brewer provides a fresh perspective by investigating the spectrum of belief. The text looks at why people believed in the supernatural and, equally importantly, why others rejected these claims. You will find detailed analysis of the skeptical thinkers of the time, specifically the scholastic philosophers who developed arguments against the belief in marvels. This work reevaluates the historical reputation of the medieval period by looking at the evidence of both belief and disbelief. It is an essential resource for students and historians interested in the intellectual history of Europe and the evolution of medieval thought.
