Ebook: Boethius on Signification and Mind

This is a study of Boethius' philosophical writings, but particularly of the Peri Hermeneias commentaries. It recounts and evaluates Boethius' view on the mind and on language. ... The purpose of this book is to gather and to explicate the Boethian texts that concern the mental processes involved in the articulation of inner speech (cogitabilis oratio), and to place those texts in the appropriate historical context. The book will be of use to medievalists who are not well acquainted with the Peripatetic commentators, and to classicists interested in the early stages of medieval thought. --From cover.
