Transfer of Knowledge and Teamwork in the Humanities. An Interview with Pedro Mantas España
By Mário João Correia
October 2024 – In this issue interview, we had the pleasure to interview Pedro Mantas España, the president of Sociedad de Filosofía Medieval, the society that supports IPM Monthly. We talked about his work on the transfer of knowledge in the Middle Ages as an alternative to classical historiography that departs from hermeneutics. We also reflected on medieval philosophy scholar’s lack of preparation to work as teams, and not just as individuals. Finally we got to know what are the plans for the recently formed commissions of SOFIME. Enjoy!
