Martin Pickavé

Delving into emotions in medieval philosophy, the podcast explores Aquinas and Scotus' perspectives on emotions as principles of action, their connection to virtues, and the classification of basic emotions. The relationship between reason and emotion, the intentional object of emotions, and differing views on emotions as cognitive states are also discussed.

Martin Pickavé discusses voluntarism in Henry of Ghent, exploring different views on free will, the relationship between intellect and will, choosing between reasons, and the role of the will in decision making. The influence of Henry and Scottish philosophers in volunteerism and late 13th-century philosophical debates is also examined.
