Bryan Magee: The Great Philosophers EP03 ⟩ Anthony Kenny on Medieval Philosophy (HD)

Now in true 1080p! Bryan Magee’s conversation with Anthony Kenny, on Sunday, Sep 20, 1987. This video features an engaging discussion with Anthony Kenny, former Master of Balliol College, Oxford, and an authority on medieval philosophy. Medieval philosophy, often overlooked in the study of Western thought, spans over a thousand years from the fall of the Roman Empire to the Renaissance. Despite its long neglect due to its religious underpinnings, it offers invaluable insights into the evolution of philosophical thought. The video explores two standout figures of this era: St. Augustine, known for his profound works The Confessions and The City of God, and Thomas Aquinas, whose technical writings, Summa Contra Gentiles and Summa Theologiae, greatly influenced theological study. The conversation traverses the so-called Dark Ages, highlighting the preservation of knowledge amidst challenging times, and touches upon notable thinkers like Anselm, Abelard, Roger Bacon, and Duns Scotus. Join us as Anthony Kenny brings to life this rich and often underappreciated period in philosophy, revealing the intellectual depth and lasting relevance of medieval thinkers in shaping modern philosophical discourse.
