Noo is noo come. Hi, I'm Peter Adamson, and you're listening to the History of Philosophy podcast brought to you with the support of Kings College London and the LMU in Munich online at

Today's episode will be an interview with Professor Kent Emory,

who is Professor of History of Medieval Philosophy and theology

at the University of Notre Dame.

Hi Professor Emory.

Hello, good to see you, Peter.

Thank you for coming on the podcast.

We're going to be talking about the institutions in which medieval philosophy was done, and the reason I wanted to talk to you about that apart from the fact

that you're an expert on it is that it's always been something that strikes me about

medieval philosophy if you compare, Anselm, writing very early,

to someone writing much later like Occam,

even though we consider them both to be medieval thinkers, they're really inhabiting very different social worlds and very different intellectual contexts.

So really what I wanted to talk to you about is the shift from the earlier period to the later period and what makes the difference that makes

for our understanding of these texts.

So starting with the earlier period,

what are the institutional context in which someone like Ansum would have been thinking about and writing about philosophy?

Well, as I think you know, Peter, philosophy in the earlier Middle Ages, and let's say that's from the ninth through

the 12th centuries, was taught in usually three kinds of schools, or in the the cathedral schools and largely in the

monasteries and this was the context in which Anseum did his writing and his

teaching of students.
