Excerpt from Knowledge and the Sciences in Medieval Philosophy, Vol. 1: Proceedings of the Eighth International Congress of Medieval Philosophy
The Eighth International Congress of Medieval Philosophy (Societe Internationale pour l'Etude de la Philosophie Medievale) was held in Helsinki, Finland, 24 - 29 August 1987. The general theme of the congress was Knowledge and the Sciences in Medieval Philosophy. The program consisted of plenary sessions with invited papers, sections with contributed papers, and meetings of the commissions of the S.I.E.P.M. The titles of the sections were as follows: (1) The Origin of Medieval Notions of Science and the Divisions of the Sciences, (2) Basic Epistemological Issues as Related to Medieval Conceptions of Science, (3) Trivium and the Sciences, (4) The Nature and Methods of Theoretical Sciences, (5) The Nature and Methods of Practical Sciences, (6) Theology as a Science, (7) New Conceptions of Science in Late Medieval and Early Renaissance Philosophy.
The reports of the commissions have been published in the Bulletin de Philosophie Medievale 29 (1987), pp. 12-70 and 30 (1988), pp. 10-38.
