Today's episode will be an interview about medieval logic with Katerina D'otel Novares, who is associate professor at the Department of Theoretical Philosophy at the University of Groningen.

Hi Katerina, thanks for coming on the podcast. at the University of Groningen.

Okay, well, let me start by saying that everything I will say to doing this interview pertains to the Latin authors, the authors who are writing in Latin.

So I will not say every time the Latin medieval authors, but it should be clear that it's not that
