Medieval debates over "divine creation" are systematically obscured in our age by the conflict between "Intelligent Design" Creationists and Evolutionists. The present investigation cuts through the web of contemporary conflicts to examine problems seated at the heart of medieval talk about creation. From three representative authors we learn that the doctrine of divine creation is supposed to invite understanding of the relation between artistic freedom and natural necessity, of the very essence of causality, and thereby of the nexus between experience (our world of empirical determinations) and reality (the absolute indetermination of eternal being). Most importantly, medieval scholarship shows us that the problems it addresses are originally inherent in the understanding itself, whereby the question of being emerges as inseparable from the question of interpretation.

This book examines Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet in light of Dante's revival of Platonic poetry. Marco Andreacchio's close reading of the play uncovers extraordinary lessons bearing significantly on matters of politics, religion, and philosophy; lessons that Shakespeare would offer us by way of helping us appreciate his original overarching intent as playwright.Andreacchio's study brings to light a "classical" way Shakespeare guides readers on a spiritual journey, helping them rediscover divine agency within human desire, so as to best understand the latter in the former. Rather than departing from medieval Christian scholarship, Shakespeare would vindicate its Platonic dimension, standing against anti-Platonic intellectual currents that find their radicalization in Machiavelli and his literary heirs.For the first time in centuries, a demonstration is given of Shakespeare's offering a viable alternative to the Machiavellian reduction of politics to ideology, or to the progressive mechanization of human life that has fueled the rise of barbarism "by another name".
