Yet it is not a new idea: it was systematically explored in the fourteenth century by William of Ockham and became central in late medieval philosophy. Mental Language examines the background of Ockham's innovation by tracing the history of the mental language theme in ancient and medieval thought. Panaccio identifies two important traditions: one philosophical, stemming from Plato and Aristotle, and the other theological, rooted in the Fathers of the Christian Church. The study then focuses on the merging of the two traditions in the Middle Ages, as they gave rise to detailed discussions over the structure of human thought and its relations with signs and language. Ultimately, Panaccio stresses the originality and significance of Ockham's doctrine of the oratio mentalis (mental discourse) and the strong impression it made upon his immediate successors.Medieval philosophy.Language and logicLogicConceptsKnowledge, Theory ofHistoryThought and thinkingHistoryThomas Aquinas.William Ockham.concept.language of thought.mental language.mental word.thought.Language and logic.Logic.Concepts.Knowledge, Theory ofHistory.Thought and thinkingHistory.121Panaccio Claudeauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut540702Hochschild Joshua P1179114Ziebart Meredith K1481350DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910792692203321Mental Language3698247UNINA
