This edited volume presents new lines of research dealing with the language of thought and its
philosophical implications in the time of Ockham. It features more than 20 essays that also
serve as a tribute to the ground-breaking work of a leading expert in late medieval philosophy:
Claude Panaccio. Coverage addresses topics in the philosophy of mind and cognition (externalism
mental causation resemblance habits sensory awareness the psychology illusion
representationalism) concepts (universal transcendental identity syncategorematic) logic
and language (definitions syllogisms modality supposition obligationes etc.) action
theory (belief will action) and more. A distinctive feature of this work is that it brings
together contributions in both French and English the two major research languages today on
the main theme in question. It unites the most renowned specialists in the field as well as
many of Claude Panaccio's former students who have engaged with his work over the years. In
furthering this dialogue the essays render key topics in fourteenth-century thought accessible
to the contemporary philosophical community without being anachronistic or insensitive to the
particularities of the medieval context. As a result this book will appeal to a general
population of philosophers and historians of philosophy with an interest in logic philosophy
of language philosophy of mind and metaphysics.
