Hervaeus Natalis, De secundis intentionibus, Distinctiones I&II : critical edition with introduction and indices

Dijs, J. (2012)

Doctoral Thesis

This critical edition covers the first two parts of De secundis intentionibus by Hervaeus Natalis (14th century). The introduction provides background information about the chronological and philosophical context of this work. At the beginning of the 14th century, the exact meaning and use of the intentio and the species intelligibilis formed an important theme in ontology, epistemology and logic. Compared to existing theories of, for instance, Thomas Aquinas, Hervaeus offers a new approach to the subject.
