Description

The session will address particular aspects of the life, works, and legacy of Richard FitzRalph 'Armachanus' (c.1300-1360), theologian, archbishop of Armagh (1346-60) and chancellor of the University of Oxford (1360), seeking to make a timely contribution to the current reassessment of this important 14th-century thinker and ecclesiastic. Papers will consider FitzRalph's contribution to philosophical and theological debate during his time at Oxford and Avignon as well as looking at the reception of his thought in the late medieval and modern periods. The session will be co-sponsored by the Department of Philosophy, National University of Ireland Maynooth and The FitzRalph Society. The FitzRalph Critical Edition project is an initiative of the Department of Philosophy, Maynooth University coming under the Department's research specialisation in 'Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy and Ireland’s Medieval Philosophical Heritage.'
