The first group of essays concerns issues surrounding the possibility of singular cognition in light of the cognitive psychology of Thomas Aquinas and Duns Scotus, as well as the latter's argument from indifference as developed by William Ockham to support his own, nominalist epistemology. However, Ockham's epistemology, worked out in detail by John Buridan, seems to have implications concerning the possibility of Demon Skepticism (later popularized by Descartes), which in turn poses a threat to the consistency of the nominalist cognitive psychology in general, as discussed in the second group of essays. Finally, the third group of essays explores some intriguing, but weird implications of the nominalist approach to epistemology in the metaphysics of John Buridan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gyula Klima\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1443833746\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781443833745\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge Scholars Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 165\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Gyula Klima","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44072966160639,"sku":"9781443833745","price":58.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c10f127c-d9be-4cf5-850d-6b951190f83c.jpg?v=1685445001","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-demonic-temptations-of-medieval-gyula-klima-9781443833745","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
