For many of us, the term 'medieval philosophy' conjures up the figure of Thomas Aquinas, and is closely intertwined with religion. In this Very Short Introduction John Marenbon shows how medieval philosophy had a far broader reach than the thirteenth and fourteenth-century universities of Christian Europe, and is instead one of the most exciting and diversified periods in the history of thought.

Introducing the coexisting strands of Christian, Muslim, and Jewish philosophy, Marenbon shows how these traditions all go back to the Platonic schools of late antiquity and explains the complex ways in which they are interlinked. Providing an overview of some of the main thinkers, such as Boethius, Abelard, al-Farabi, Avicenna, Maimonides, and Gersonides, and the topics, institutions and literary forms of medieval philosophy, he discusses in detail some of the key issues in medieval thought: universals; mind, body and mortality; foreknowledge and freedom; society and the best life.

Moisturizing
This lip balm is really nice. I am constantly buying new lip balm, and this has really impressed me. It keeps your lips very moisturized for quite a long time. I thought it was going to be the size of chap stick, but it’s actually the size of an Elmers glue stick, so it’s well worth the price. I will definitely buy again, if I ever run out 😁

This lip balm is the bomb
This lip balm is the bomb! Slight pleasant orange scent and application is smooth and creamy! I don’t think I’ll use any other moisturizing lip product in the future. Love it!
