Medieval Philosophy Redefined: plea for a fourth and revised edition

This letter presents a plea for a fourth and revised edition of John Deely's monumental work, Medieval Philosophy Redefined as the Latin Age: The Development of Cenoscopic Science, AD 354 to 1644 (From the Birth of Augustine to the Death of Poinsot). The text offers a descriptive overview of the book's structure, highlighting its ambitious goal of recovering a vast and neglected period of scientific understanding—the Latin age—which Deely argues has been unjustly discarded by the modern mindset. The plea for a new edition is grounded in the belief that a fourth edition would serve both the publisher's commercial interests and the global community of English-speaking scholarly readers. While the author hesitates to request an open-access release, he advocates for the publication of a digital format to facilitate broader access and engagement with Deely's historiographical contribution.
