To the question “how do we cognize things?”, medieval thinkers replied in very different and sophisticated ways. In a broad landscape, in which late-ancient views (e.g. the skeptics', and Augustine’s reaction to them) also find their place, we will focus on those accounts of cognition that best exemplify certain philosophical tendencies, such as representationalism, illuminationism, direct cognition, and nominalism. These labels will be unpacked and discussed in class through the direct confrontation with a selection of texts by Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Henry of Ghent, Peter Olivi, John Duns Scotus, and William of Ockham.
