Llullian Studies

Llullian Studies focus on the works and ideas of Ramon Llull, a 13th-century Catalan thinker and philosopher. Llull developed innovative methods for exploring theology, philosophy, and logic, notably creating a system called the "Ars combinatoria," which used symbols and combinations to facilitate understanding and dialogue among different faiths and disciplines. Modern Llullian Studies analyze his texts, concepts, and influence to understand early efforts at interdisciplinary thought, synthesis of knowledge, and intercultural dialogue. This field combines history, philosophy, and literary analysis to appreciate Llull's role in intellectual history and his pioneering approach to knowledge organization.
