Coles Albert the Great and the Medieval Scientific Knowledge at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Albert the Great stands as one of the most remarkable figures in the history of Western thought, yet he remains curiously underappreciated in popular understanding of the Middle Ages. While his most famous student, Thomas Aquinas, achieved lasting fame as the angelic doctor of Catholic theology, Albert himself has often been relegated to a supporting role in the narrative of medieval intellectual history. This obscurity is unjust and misleading, for Albert's contributions to the development of Western science and philosophy were in many ways more diverse and more daring than those of his celebrated pupil. Where Thomas focused his genius primarily on theological synthesis, Albert cast his nets far wider, bringing the full weight of his intellect to bear on virtually every domain of knowledge available in the thirteenth century.
