Description

Explore the complex relationship between belief and doubt in medieval society with Wonder and Skepticism in the Middle Ages. Published by Routledge as part of the Research in Medieval Studies series, this work examines how people responded to tales of the supernatural and marvels. Keagan Brewer reevaluates the common idea that the Middle Ages was simply an era of credulity by looking at the actual evidence. While many lived in a world that supported belief, the book highlights the presence of skeptics, specifically scholastic philosophers who developed arguments against the existence of marvels. This study asks deep questions about why some individuals embraced the supernatural while others rejected it, providing a nuanced view of medieval intellectual life and the tension between wonder and rational skepticism.
