Nicolaus Cusanus on Faith and the Intellect. A Case Study in 15th-Century Fides-Ratio Controversy
K. Meredith Ziebart
In 'Nicolaus Cusanus on Faith and the Intellect', K. M. Ziebart argues convincingly that Cusanus' epistemology was a direct response to late-medieval debates over the relation between faith and reason - one which sought to resolve these debates by introducing a controversially strong integration of philosophy and theology. By examining his works in the context of debates with his peers, Ziebart shows how and why Cusanus came to articulate a theory of knowledge in which faith is posited as inherent to the very structure of mind, as the 'vis iudiciaria', or power of judgment. This well-grounded study sheds new light on the Cusan philosophy and expands our view of a crucial, liminal period in European intellectual history.
