""Richard De Middleton"" is a rigorous scholarly examination of the life, writings, and philosophical systems of one of the 13th century's most significant Franciscan theologians. Richard of Middleton, also known as Ricardus de Mediavilla, was a prominent master at the University of Paris whose work represents a vital stage in the evolution of Scholastic thought. In this comprehensive study, Edgar Hocedez provides a detailed analysis of Middleton's principal theological and philosophical doctrines. The work explores Middleton's stance on key medieval debates, including the nature of the soul, the principle of individuation, and the relationship between faith and reason. By examining his ""Commentary on the Sentences"" and ""Quodlibetal Questions,"" Hocedez illustrates how Middleton navigated the complex intellectual landscape of his time, balancing the Augustinian tradition with the rising influence of Aristotelianism. This volume is an essential resource for those interested in the history of the Franciscan order and the development of Western metaphysics during the Middle Ages. It highlights Middleton's enduring influence on subsequent thinkers and his place within the rich tapestry of medieval academic life.
