Abstract

King's chapter provides a systematic overview of the state of the philosophy of cognitive psychology in the first half of the fourteenth century, and so a framework for the subsequent chapters as well. In addition to outlining the broad consensus position, which he calls "the Neo-Aristotelian synthesis," King identifies "five specific trouble spots' in which this consensus is threatened.
