The Intellectual Dynamism of the High Middle Ages
The essays in The Intellectual Dynamism of the High Middle Ages pay tribute to the work and impact of Constant J. Mews, in spirit and in content, revealing a nuanced and integrated vision of the intellectual history of the medieval West. Mews's groundbreaking work has revealed the wide world of medieval letters: looking beyond the cathedral and the cloister for his investigations, and taking a broad view of intellectual practice in the Middle Ages, Mews has demanded that we expand our horizons as we explore the history of ideas. Alongside his cutting-edge work on Abelard, he has been a leader in the study of medieval women writers, paying heed to Hildegard and Heloise in particular. In Mews' Middle Ages, the world of ideas always belongs to a larger world: one that is cultural, gendered, and politicized.

The faces of intellectual disability : philosophical reflections
In a challenge to current thinking about cognitive impairment, this book
explores what it means to treat people with intellectual disabilities in an ethical
manner. Reassessing philosophical views of intellectual disability, Licia Carlson
shows how we can affirm the dignity and worth of intellectually disabled people
first by ending comparisons to nonhuman animals and then by confronting our fears
and discomforts. Carlson presents the complex history of ideas about cognitive
disability, the treatment of intellectually disabled people, and social and cultural
reactions to them. Sensitive and clearly argued, this book offers new insights on
recent trends in disability studies and philosophy.
