Quodlibetal Questions I-XII
"Quodlibetal disputes were formal university debates, held twice a year during Advent and Lent, in which questions on any topic could be brought forward by those in attendance; supporting and opposing arguments were discussed and then ultimately resolved by the presiding master. Thomas Aquinas presided over twelve quodlibetal disputes, which cover a range of topics, both speculative and practical; the Quodlibets here are considerably edited reports of these debates. Quodlibets VII-XI are from Aquinas's first teaching period in Paris (1256-1259), and Quodlibets I-VI, XII are from his second teaching period in Paris (1269-1272)"--
Thomas Aquinas's Quodlibetal Questions
Thomas Aquinas was one of the most significant Christian thinkers of the middle ages and ranks among the greatest philosophers and theologians of all time. The Quodlibetal Questions are his edited records of the public debates over which he presided at the University of Paris in the mid-thirteenth century. They contain Aquinas's treatment of hundreds of questions on a very wide range of philosophical and theological topics, all of which were chosen by his live audience. As such, Aquinas's Quodlibetal Questions provide a window onto the interests at the time, and contain some of Aquinas's fullest or only treatments of questions of interest both then and now.
