Hardback. We associate prejudice with ignorance and bigotry and consider it a source of injustice. Can prejudice have a legitimate place in moral and political judgment?

Hardback. Ada Palmer explores how Renaissance poets and philologists, not scientists, rescued Lucretius and his atomism theory.

Hardback. Some commentators claim that Anselm's writings contain a second independent "modal ontological argument" for God's existence. A. D.

This "other argument" bears a striking resemblance to one that Duns Scotus would later employ. Num Pages: 260 pages, figures. BIC Classification: HPCB; HRAB. Category: (G) General (US: Trade).
