Richard Kilvington on Willing, Sinning, Geometry, and Time

Richard Kilvington was one of the most talented Oxford Calculators. His influence on late medieval philosophy and theology remains unquestionable. This volume presents a critical edition of questions 5 and 6 of Kilvington’s Questions on the Sentences, complete with an introduction. The volume sheds light on Kilvington’s theological view on the relationship between finitude and infinity as considered in their earthly and afterlife dimensions, on the instantaneousness or temporal extensiveness of sin and punishment, and on particular cases in which one may be in doubt as to what one should do because all possible options appear to involve sin.
