The book outlines how scholastic regulations concerning the use of opinions changed in the early modern era, giving rise to an extensive debate on the moral and epistemological foundations of reasonable disagreements. The debate was fueled by probabilism and anti-probabilism in Catholic moral theology and thus also serves as a gateway to these doctrines. All developments are outlined in historical context, while special attention is paid to the evolution of scholastic notions of probability and their importance for the emergence of modern probability. 410 0$aBrill's Studies in Intellectual History$v302. 606 $aScholasticism 606 $aProbabilism 606 $aPublic opinion 615 0$aScholasticism. 615 0$aProbabilism. 615 0$aPublic opinion. 676 $a149/.91 700 $aSchuessler$b Rudolf$01603647 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815923303321 996 $aThe debate on probable$93928108 997 $aUNINA
