Simeon Mladenov: The Will to Think

Summary/Abstract: Simeon Mladenov’s book “The Will to Think” is a serious and in-depth original study investigating the relationship between the will power and intellect in several medieval representatives of Franciscan tradition. Such a topic offers plenty of opportunities for research in a still undeveloped field in Bulgarian medieval studies. The kind of the study itself is not comparative-historical, but rather essentially analytic based on a thorough knowledge of the source literature, as evidenced by the numerous notes with reference to authentic works in Latin. The book is grounded on the author’s doctoral thesis (Die Rolle des Willens in der Entwicklung der Erkenntnistheoriein der hochmittelalterlichen franziskanischen Philosophie), defended at the beginning of 2021 at Thomas Institute in the University of Cologne, Germany. Simeon Mladenov’s doctoral study there was supervised by Professor Andreas Speer, one of the most significant names among the researchers of medieval Western European theology and philosophy.
