This research has been pos- sible thanks to a Jean-François Malle Fellowship at Villa I Tatti. The Har- vard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies. While any list of reasonable length would undoubtedly be incomplete, I nonetheless want to acknowledge the great help of Annalisa Andreoni, Nadja Aksamija, Andrew Berns, Luca Bianchi, Richard P. Blum, Giancarlo Casale, Simon Gilson, Craig Kallendorf, Victoria Kirkham, Jill Kraye, David Lines, Peter Mack, Vittoria Perrone Compagni, Riccardo Pozzo, Anna Maria Siekiera and Valerio Vianello. I gratefully acknowledge also all the sugges- tions and criticism of the anonymous peer-reviewers. My gratitude also extends to the participants of the Early Modern Philosophy and the Scientific Imagination Seminar directed by Stephen Clucas on “Italian Renaissance Philosophy in the Vernacular: Alessandro Piccolomini” and to the confer- ence “Aristotele fatto volgare: Aristotelian Philosophy and the Vernacular in the Renaissance” for their comments and suggestions. An earlier version of chapter 4 was read at the I Tatti’s “Fellow Seminar: Literature and the Academic World”, while shorter version of the first two parts of chapter 3 was presented at the conference “The Philosophy of Humanism and its Place in the History of Philosophy”, organized by Lodi Nauta, whom I thank for his kind invitation. Despite the invaluable assistance of many people, any and all errors or shortcomings in this book are mine, and mine alone. I am particularly grateful to Robert Norris and James A.T. Lancaster for their help in revising my book and for all their precious suggestions. SOURCES AND ABBREVIATIONS All Greek and Roman authors are cited in their most familiar single-name form, both in the text and in the bibliography, e.g. Cicero (not Marcus Tul- lius Cicero) and Quintilian (not Marcus Fabius Quintilianus). All titles are given in the original language with the exception of Aristotle. My general rule has been to preserve original spelling and punctuation, even when erroneous, except where there are critical editions. Sometimes, when fit- ting quotations around the text, I have silently changed a lower case ini- tial letter to an upper, or vice versa, as the sentence requires. Long and significant quotations from primary sources are provided with the original text alongside the translation.

It is not possible in just a few pages of introduction to discuss in detail, and with any degree of exactness, the complexities and original ideas that arose during this hundred-year period. I prefer therefore to trace the major currents of thought that influenced logic between the end of the Quattrocento and the beginning of the Cinquecento, thereby providing a context for

  • L'etica Di Aristotele Presso L'accademia Degli Infiammati
    MARCO SGARBI L’ETICA DI ARISTOTELE PRESSO L’ACCADEMIA DEGLI INFIAMMATI 1. Introduzione. L’Ethica di Aristotele fu uno dei libri più fortunati del corpus aristoteli- co: godette di una trasmissione pressoché ininterrotta dall’antichità sino al Rinascimento1. In Italia la trasmissione fu continua, ma le fortune furono alterne secondo i contesti2. Nei contesti più formali, costituiti tipicamente dalle scuole, dalle univer- sità e dagli studia degli ordini religiosi, l’insegnamento dell’etica aristotelica era pressoché trascurato. Nelle scuole, anche laddove veniva insegnata grammatica latina, retorica o letteratura, lo studio della filosofia morale aveva un ruolo alquanto modesto, sebbene, soprattutto per gli umanisti, l’appropriazione della cultura classica antica fosse indissolubilmente legata alla condivisione e valorizzazione delle loro virtù morali3. Anche nelle uni- versità, almeno fino alla seconda metà del Cinquecento, la filosofia morale aristotelica non godette di grande prestigio. Il suo insegnamento talvolta non era nemmeno previsto negli ordinamenti4, altre volte veniva assorbito dalla cattedra di ‘umanità’ o studia humanitatis, e nella maggioranza dei casi prevaleva lo studio della filosofia naturale, propedeutica agli studi di medicina5. Negli studia religiosi, sia che fossero diretti dai Domenicani o dai 1 Per una generale panoramica della ricezione dell’etica aristotelica e della filosofia morale più in generale si vedano gli eccellenti lavori di Jill Kraye e David A. Lines: Kraye (1988, 301-386) e (1995, 96-117); Lines (2002) e (2012, 171-193). 2 Lines (2013, 58). 3 Ibid., 61. L’approccio degli umanisti rimase prevalentemente filologico; anzi, come afferma Robert Black, «overwhelmingly philosophical, the few moral or philosophical glosses are invariably lost in a vast sea of philological detail» (Black 2001, 9).

  • Averroes Against Avicenna on Human Spontaneous Generation: the Starting-Point of a Lasting Debate
    Chapter 2 Averroes against Avicenna on Human Spontaneous Generation: The Starting-Point of a Lasting Debate Amos Bertolacci Introduction Among the legends on Averroes’s life reported in Ernest Renan’s Averroès et l’averroïsme (1852), allegedly ‘the most absurd’ is the one that he draws from De philosophia et philosophorum sectis by Gerardus Joannes Vossius (1577–1649) (published posthumously in 1658) and from the Historia critica philosophiae (1767) by Johann Jakob Brucker (1696–1770). The story goes that Avicenna went to Cordoba during Averroes’s lifetime, and Averroes, out of hate, tortured and killed him. 1 The tale of Avicenna’s presence in Cordoba and his killing by Averroes has a long history that goes back to the thirteenth century. 2 On a historical level, the legend in question is obviously wrong, since Avicenna lived more than a century before Averroes and never moved to Andalusia. The persistence of the account of 1 Ernest Renan, Averroès et l’averroïsme (Paris: Durand, 1852; repr. Paris: Maisonneuve & Larose, 1997), pp. 47–48. 2 See Marie-Thérèse d’Alverny, ‘Survivance et renaissance d’Avicenne à Venise et à Padoue’, in Venezia e l’Oriente fra tardo Medioevo e Rinascimento , ed. Agostino Pertusi (Florence: Sansoni, 1966; repr. in Ead., Avicenne en Occident , Paris: Vrin, 1993, article XV), pp. 75–102 (80–83). At p. 83 of this study, d’Alverny reports a version of the legend, contained in a decree of Pietro Barozzi, bishop of Padua, of May 1489, according to which Avicenna would have succeeded in killing Averroes before being brought to death himself by the latter’s poison.

  • Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy Influence of Arabic and Islamic Philosophy on the Latin West
    03/05/2017 Influence of Arabic and Islamic Philosophy on the Latin West (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy Influence of Arabic and Islamic Philosophy on the Latin West First published Fri Sep 19, 2008; substantive revision Tue Mar 18, 2014 The Arabic­Latin translation movements in the Middle Ages, which paralleled that from Greek into Latin, led to the transformation of almost all philosophical disciplines in the medieval Latin world. The impact of Arabic philosophers such as al­Fārābī, Avicenna and Averroes on Western philosophy was particularly strong in natural philosophy, psychology and metaphysics, but also extended to logic and ethics. Among the influential Arabic theories are: the logical distinction between first and second intentions; the intension and remission of elementary forms; the soul's faculty of estimation and its object, the intentions; the conjunction between human intellect and separate active intellect; the unicity of the material intellect (Averroism); naturalistic theories of miracles and prophecy; the eternity of the world and the concept of eternal creation; the active intellect as giver of forms; the first cause as necessary existent; the emanation of intelligences from the first cause; the distinction between essence and existence; the theory of primary concepts; the concept of human happiness as resulting from perfect conjunction of the human intellect with the active intellect. 1.

He argued that John of J andun was the first of a series of philosophers who conceived of themselves as 1 disciples of A verroes and who embraced a larger set of doctrines by A verroes • Siger of Brabant and the group of philosophers around him in thirteenth-century Paris were not A verroists, in the eyes of Van Steenberghen, but radical 2 followers of Aristotle • lt is true that Thomas Aquinas' attack against contemporary « Averroistae », who adopt Averroes' theory of the unicity of the intellect, was probably directed against Siger of Brabant, but this does not allow us to call Siger an « A verroist », says Van Steenberghen : A verroes always 3 remained a secondary source for Siger .

Although different and contradictory 4 answers have been given to this question in the Western tradition, four doctrinal strands 5 can be traced. 6 First, materialists affirm that man, inasmuch as his body is an organized aggregate of purely 7 material elements, disappears completely when the elements that compose him are dissolved. 8 This is the answer of some Presocratics, Epicurus, the Stoics, and, in the early moden period, 9 Thomas Hobbes, who reduced mental acts to organic functions or to epiphenomena of 30111 matter. 1 Second, for Plato, the soul is a substance in itself that exists prior to being joined to the 2 body, which it moves. It dwells in the body for a certain time but departs at death to take 3 up residence in other bodies, until, thoroughly purified, it is able to return to the world of 4 the ideas. Some of Plato’s later followers viewed the human soul as a particular expression 35 of the cosmic Soul, or as a particle of the World Soul. These authors admit the immortality 6 of the soul, but this immortality is not seen as specifically personal.
