- Description
- Examines Chaucer's use of "thoughte" in HF to translate Boethius's "mens" and Dante's "mente," arguing that the personal, experiential epistemology implicit in Chaucer's word undermines the transcendental visions of his predecessors and anticipates the down-to-earth theme of common profit in PF.
