About this book
In a time when the intellectual fervor of the medieval period clashed with the rigid structures of the Church, "Peter Abélard" by Joseph McCabe delves into the life of a revolutionary thinker whose ideas challenged established norms. Abélard's pursuit of knowledge and his passionate love affair with Héloïse serve as focal points in this compelling narrative. McCabe meticulously explores themes of reason and faith, revealing how Abélard's philosophical inquiries laid the groundwork for future debates on ethics and morality. Ideal for students, historians, and civic activists, this account not only illuminates Abélard's contributions to philosophy but also invites readers to reflect on the enduring quest for truth and understanding in a complex world.
