Description

Teacher and student, secret marriage, then a cruelty that splits their lives into convent and scar. Their letters keep arguing love, faith, and blame across the distance. Spoken as a famous passion that never goes quiet, useful when you want the human heat inside the legend.

Peter Abelard was a medieval French scholastic philosopher, theologian and preeminent logician. His affair with and love for Heloise d'Argenteuil has become legendary. The Chambers Biographical Dictionary describes him as the keenest thinker and boldest theologian of the 12th Century. In philosophy, he is celebrated for his logical solution to the problem of universals via nominalism and conceptualism and his pioneering of intent in ethics.
