John R. Wood's Books

Möchte man sich auf einem Gebiet Wissen aneignen, sei es, weil es ein Studium oder der Beruf verlangt oder rein aus Interesse, findet man sich zunächst in einem Wald aus Fremwörtern wieder. Das vorliegende Werk aus dem Jahre 1911 will diesem Problem auf dem Gebiet der Schifffahrt Klarheit entgegen setzen. Der Autor John Barten hat alle nautischen Fachbegriffe zusammengefasst, sodass es jedem Interessierten hilft, diese Wissenschaft zu verstehen. Hierbei handelt es sich um ein zweisprachiges Wörterbuch.

Reprint of the original, first published in 1879.

An in-depth analysis of nearly all chemical and biological weapons, their effects, and the politics surrounding their deployment.

This work is the first English translation of Scotus's commentary on Aristotle's Quaestiones super Praedicamenta. Although there are numerous Latin commentaries on Aristotle's Categories, Scotus's Questions is one of the few commentaries on the Categories written in the thirteenth century covering all of Aristotle's text, including the often neglected post-praedicamenta, and the only complete Latin commentary available in English. Moreover, unlike many of the commentaries, Scotus's text is one of the last commentaries to be written before the nominalist reduction of the categories to substance and quality. The question format allows Scotus a great deal of liberty to discuss the categories in detail, as well as matters that are only remotely raised by the text. Altogether, the forty-four questions cover the following subjects: questions 1-4 are prolegomena to the work itself and raise the question of its subject matter as well as whether there can be a science of the categories; questions 5-8 deal with equivocals, univocals, and denominatives; questions 9-11 discuss Aristotle's two rules regarding predication and the sufficiency of the categories; questions 12-36 discuss the four main categories treated by Aristotle, namely, substance, quantity, relation, and quality; and the remaining eight questions discuss the post-praedicamenta.

Updated to include recent research in the field, this exploration of medieval philosophy looks at the subject’s history, techniques and concepts. Discussing the main writers and ideas, it is the standard companion for all students of the discipline.
