Reviews for On Being and Cognition: Ordinatio 1.3
"The massive third distinction of the first book of Scotus's Ordinatio represents the fullest systematic treatment of cognitive psychology and philosophy of mind produced in the Middle Ages. This superb translation renders the whole text into clear, stylish, and felicitous English. It will be essential reading for anyone interested in medieval theories of mind and knowledge."
