Abstract | It has been widely acknowledged that in the eleventh and twelfth centuries there is a new emphasis on interiority in religion. This emphasis is reflected in the religious and monastic pedagogy of the period. However, the meaning of the notion of interiority is not clear. In this session the issue of interiority is the focus of a range of questions: what is the role of (Augustinian) tradition, what is the significance of inwardness in pre-eleventh-century religion; what are its meanings in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. |
