Atomism in late medieval philosophy and theology

"This book is the result of a collective attempt to give a general survey of atomism and its critics in the late Middle Ages. The contributors have focused on the thirteenth- and fourteenth-century atomists and anti-atomists, with a thorough examination of important figures like Nicholas of Autrecourt or John Wyclif, and lesser-known figures such as Gerard Odo or William Crathorn. From these essays, a new understanding of the discussions of atomism in late medieval philosophy and theology emerges."--Jacket.
