Ebook available to libraries exclusively as part of the JSTOR Path to Open intiative. In this volume we produce a critical edition of ten Questions on cognition discussed by Thomas Wylton, an important early fourteenth-century philosopher and theologian, in his theological works. The topics of the questions include divine ideas, our knowledge of the physical world, the notion of science, our cognition of truths about God, the epistemological status of faith, the controversial issue of the possibility of the simultaneous existence of many intellectual acts, the intellectual cognition of singulars. The edition of the Latin text of Wylton's questions is prefaced by a lengthy Introduction that (i) explains the historical context of Wylton's questions, (ii) offers a study of their manuscript tradition, and (iii) clarifies the criteria of our edition. The bulk of the Introduction consists (iv) in a detailed analysis of the contents of each of the edited questions with the aim of clarifying Wylton's views, the arguments he formulates in support of them, his criticism of other contemporary views (for example, Thomas Aquinas, John Duns Scotus, Hervaeus Natalis, Durandus of St. Pourcain). This analysis will hopefully make Wylton's discussion accessible to a wide philosophical audience. Various kinds of Indexes are produced to help the readers navigate through the Latin text.
