1. Kilcullen, Boethius, Consolation of Philosophy, download; listen [The setting. The problem: why
does God allow the wicked to prevail? How does God guide the universe and to what goal? The "good"
(goal) for human beings; views of Aristotle, the Stoics, the neo-Platonists. Consolations derived from
Stoic philosophy, books 1-3. The problem reasserted (begining of Book 4). Arguments of Plato's
Gorgias, to the effect that the wicked are really weak and wickedness is its own punishment. The
problem again reasserted (4, pr. 5). Providence and fate. There is no such thing as chance. But we have
free choice. God has foreknowledge. Our free choice and God's foreknowledge are not inconsistent.]
2. Kilcullen, Boethius, Other Writings, download; listen [A list of Boethius' writings. His
contributions to the liberal arts and to philosophy reflect the philosophical education at Alexandria.
Plato's educational plan, Republic 398ff, 524ff, 531ff. The "Platonist" school. Translations of Greek
mathematics, science, philosophy, medicine etc. into Arabic, then in the 12th century into Latin; until
then Boethius the main source of Greek philosophical material in Latin. What is available in English
translation of Boethius' other writings. An account of his discussion of universals in his commentary on
Porphyry's Introduction. Aporetic method. What is the problem about universals? Abstraction as
Boethius' solution.]
3. Kilcullen, Boethius, Medieval Logic, download; listen [More on universals -- Ockham's approach.
Aristotle, On Interpretation, ch. 9, on statements about future acts within our power. Difficulties for
religious thinkers in the suggestion that such statements do not become true or false until the event does
or does not happen. On logic: the books included in volume 1 of Aristotle's Works. Assessing an
argument -- are the premises true, does the conclusion follow. Logic concerned with what follows from
what. This depends on the skeletal structure of the argument -- if any argument with a certain structure
has true premisses but false conclusion, then in no argument with that structure does the conclusion
follow. Aristotle's achievement in the Prior Analytics.]
4. Scott, Bede, Ecclesiastical History of the English People, download; listen. [The importance of
history within the western intellectual tradition. Medieval historians, like the classical predecessors
who influenced them, were rhetors, skilled in the technique of 'invention'. Their rhetorical background
explains: (i) their use of attributed direct speech; (ii) their predilection for hagiographical stereotyping;
(iii) their concern for literary style. Christian aspects of medieval history writing: (1) conception of
history as a comprehensible whole; (2) a concern with time and accurate dating; (3) explanatory themes
derived from the biblical (especially Old Testament) conception of history.]
5. Kilcullen, Augustine, City of God, download, listen. [Augustine thinks not in opposites but in terms
of an order with many levels. Manicheanism; his theory of evil. Structure of the City of God. Some
themes: Fate, foreknowledge and free will; the greatness of the Roman empire, honour as a simulacrum
of virtue; the two cities; the possibility of cooperation between citizens of the two cities.]
6. Scott, Gregory the Great, download, listen [Pope Gregory 1 (the Great) was the highly influential
moral teacher of Europe between 600 and 1100. Manuscript survivals, library catalogues and citations
by many other writers show his popularity. His Letters were mined for information; his works of
biblical exegesis, especially his Moralia on the book of Job, were regarded as models of allegorical
exposition by later writers and enshrined practical moral advice with a Stoic bent; his Pastoral Care
provided a model of leadership for the secular clergy; his Dialogues introduced a new model of sanctity
based on everyday Christian virtues. In general, his writings portrayed a world where the boundaries
between the natural and supernatural were porous and advocated the individual's obligations to other
members of the body of Christ.]
7. Kilcullen, Augustine on Freewill and Predestination, download, listen [Augustine's conception of
free choice. According to Pelagius, living the good life is up to you. Augustine's dissatisfaction with
Pelagius' doctrine. According to Augustine, after the Fall, human beings need God's help for each and
every good act of choice. This help is gratuitous, not earned or deserved as a right. Needed also is the
gift of perseverance; salvation or damnation depends on the state in which one dies. Predestination.
Adam's sin attributed to all human beings. The basis for Augustine's doctrine in the bible (see extracts
from bible). Later contests over Augustine's doctrine: Ockham, Bradwardine and Gregory of Rimini,
Luther, Calvin, Molina, Jansen, Arnauld, Arminius.]
8. Kilcullen, Anselm 1, download, listen [See written lectures 1 and 2. This lecture contains little new
material but reinforces points made in the written lectures, especially in relation to the argument types
Anselm uses, and the difference between philosophical and revealed theology.]
9. Kilcullen, Anselm 2, download, listen [A discussion mainly of the kinds of necessity. In Anselm's
school basic questions relating to the credibility of Christianity were actively discussed.]
9. Scott, Monastic intellectual culture in the West, download, listen [Monastery a school in how to
live. What did they read? The Bible, books of the Fathers, but also the pagan classics. How did they
read? Meditatively; to fix in the memory; their writing full of reminiscences of what they read.
Allegorical reading. What they wrote: copied MSS. Concrete genres such as letters, history, saits lives,
pastoral, not abstract speculation. History writing a classical genre; the monks wrote to record God's
deeds. Saints lives stereotyped.]
10. Kilcullen, Medieval Science, download, listen [Translation of Greek science and philosophy into
Arabic; prestige of Greek medicine. In the 12th century translations into Latin from Arabic and Greek.
Content of Aristotle's writings in natural philosophy. Conflicts between Aristotle's philosophy and
Christianity. Criticisms of Aristotle's natural philosophy. The scientific revolution. Reading list.]
11. Ward, Urban Schools and Universities 1, download, listen [Carolingian renaissance: grammar,
rhetoric, dialectic, classical literature; invention of Carolingian script. Survival of the educational
program in some places, notably Chartres. Controversies: Investiture contest, Eucharist, marriage,
satan, conversion of Muslims and Jews. Translations. Knowledge becomes objectified. Areas of study:
the Bible, Aristotle, Platonism, hermeneutic matters. French cathedral schools -- Laon, Reims,
Chartres, Paris. Interests of students. Curriculum. Dialectic, theology, literature, philosophy.
Accomodation of students. The licence to teach.]
12. Ward, Urban Schools and Universities 2, download, listen [Foundations of universities of Paris,
Bologna and Oxford. Reading and discussion of documents "Authentica habita", Letter of Innocent III
(1208-1209), and "Rules of the University of Paris" Resources Book, pp. 221, 223, 224-6.]
13. Ward, Urban Schools and Universities 3, download, listen [The curriculum. Demands of the
market. Eclipse of rhetoric by letter writing skills, then (with the advent of the universities) by
disputation. Of the seven liberal arts, the others were modified, but rhetoric was the only one that died.
In the 12th century no fixed curriculum in the universities. Kinds of reasoning distinguished
(apodeictic, dialectical, sophistical). From 12th to 13th centuries general competence replaced by
specialisation. Late 12th century: missionary theology. Increased contact with Jews. Hugh of St Victor.
Rupert of Deutz. John of Salisbury's criticism of the schools. Alan of Lille. In the thirteenth century
much controversy and conflict, hence restrictions and condemnations -- 1210, 1231, 1241, 1270, 1277
(pp. 271-2 in Resources Book), etc. Was scholasticism too restrictive to be beneficial? Petrarch.]
14. Ward, Urban Schools and Universities 4, download, listen [Argument of Luca Bianchi, "Censure,
Liberté et progrès intellectuel à l'université de paris au xiiie siècle", Archives d'historie doctrinale et
littéraire du moyen age, 63 (1996), pp. 45-93. (For a different view see "Introduction", Resources Book,
pp. 10-12.) Alan of Lille and the study of rhetoric.]
15. Kilcullen, Medieval Law 1, download, listen. [Law schools in Italy, the universities and colleges at
Bologna. Justinian's Corpus iuris civilis (comprising Code, Digest, Novels, Institutes). Canon law
collections: Burchard of Worms, Decretum (P.L., vol. 140), Ivo of Chartres, Decretum, Panormia (P.L.,

from Justinian's Digest and Gratian's Decretum.]
16. Kilcullen, Medieval Law 2, download, listen. [Gratian continued. The liber extra. A few
illustrations of the ideas contained in the writings of lawyers -- on marriage, on corporation law and
political philosophy.]

claims: John of Paris, Marsilius of Padua, William of Ockham.]
22. Kilcullen, Predestination in the 14th Century, download, listen [The practice of criticism in 14th
century universities. Recapitulation of Augustine's view on predestination and grace. Ockham's
reworking of the theory. What God could do de potentia dei absoluta, what he does de potentia dei
ordinata. "Facientibus quod is se est Deus non denegat gratiam". Semi-Pelagian? Bradwardine and
Gregory of Rimini as opponents of the new theory.]
23. Kilcullen, 14th century theories on predestination and grace continued, download, listen [Grace
as habitus. Sacraments as sine qua non cause of grace. Possibility of morally good acts done without
grace. Predestination ante or post praevisa merita; reprobation.]
24. Kilcullen, Final lecture, download, listen [Free will: Scotus and Ockham on the will's power for
opposites. Moral theories in the late middle ages: eudaimonistic ethics contrasted with Scotus' notion
that the will has not only an affectio commodi but also an affectio iustitiae (compare Anselm, here and
here)
Connections between medieval and early modern thought -- in philosophy (for more detail, here and
here), in theology (controversies over grace in the reformation, between Molinists and Dominicans,
Jesuits and Jansenists, Arminians and Calvinists), the legal system, the universities.]

Reading Guides
These courses were taught using audio cassette tapes and printed reading books. The reading books
contained photocopied extracts from translations of medieval philosophers. The idea was that the
student would play the cassette, pressing the pause button from time to time to read another segment of
text from the reading book. The cassettes give a detailed commentary on the text.

The web pages listed below are (mostly) transcripts of the audio cassettes. Anyone wishing to use them
will need to have at hand, open on the desk, the text on which the cassette comments (or some
equivalent translation). The commentary is not likely to make much sense without the translations.
(Some of the pages do "stand alone", but most refer to a text.)
