    Virtues of the Will: The Transformation of Ethics in the Late Thirteenth Century.Bonnie Dorrick Kent - 1995 - Catholic University of Amer Press.
    In Virtues of the Will, Bonnie Kent traces late thirteenth-century debates about the freedom of the will, moral weakness, and other issues that helped change the course of Western ethics.

  2. Evil in later medieval philosophy.Bonnie Dorrick Kent - 2007 - Journal of the History of Philosophy 45 (2):177-205.

I pass over the account of Thrasyllus' logos-theory which Tarrant derives from an elusive section of Porphyry's commentary on Ptolemy's Harmonics in order to discuss the more important conclusions he draws in chapter 6, "The Neopythagorean Parmenides." By carefully sifting passages in Proclus' commentary on the Parmenides (...)
