註釋This volume makes available for the first time in English an invaluable source for medieval ideas on deep questions that will be familiar to present-day students of philosophy. The British philosopher-theologian Robert Kilwardby wrote, "On Time" and "On Imagination" in Oxford in the 1250s. "On Time" discusses whether time is independent of mind, investigates the nature of the unity of time, and asks whether there is an analogue of time in the life of pure spirits. "On Imagination" examines the nature of imagination, and its relations to sensation and desire, and ends with a lengthy section on the roles of head and heart in the exercise of common sense. In both treatises Kilwardby struggles to reconcile the views of Aristotle and Augustine. Broadie's introduction demonstrates how Kilwardby's acute intellect can help shed light on some perennial problems of philosophy. The volume complements Father Lewry's Latin text edition of the two treatises (Oxford, 1987).
