The book focuses on a number of twelfth-century intellectuals, especially Thierry of Chartres, Peter Abelard, William of Conches, Bernard Silvestris, and Alan of Lille. Defining characteristic of their texts is the fact that God, nature and humanity enter into a trialogue of sorts involving many disparate subjects and aiming to bring out the archetypal relatedness of all kinds of knowledge with respect to human nature. As the authors studied here engage the divine and the universe in a joint conversation, the book ultimately concentrates on trying both to understand its appeal and to explain its subsequent demise. 410 0$aBrill's studies in intellectual history ;$vv. 127. 606 $aCivilization, Medieval$y12th century 606 $aTheology$xHistory$yMiddle Ages, 600-1500 606 $aPhilosophy, Medieval 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCivilization, Medieval 615 0$aTheology$xHistory 615 0$aPhilosophy, Medieval. 676 $a144/.09/021 700 $aOtten$b Willemien$0538051 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451003503321 996 $aFrom paradise to paradigm$92091297 997 $aUNINA
