Abstract :
This paper examines the concept of esse iudicatum in Peter Auriol. For Auriol, esse iudicatum is a property that objects acquire when they are correlated with an act of iudicium. Iudicium is the production of an object in the mind, and so esse iudicatum is the property of being produced as such an object. I will show that Auriol’s theory is at the confluence of two distinct streams of thought. It emerges, first, from a long philosophical tradition running from Aristotle to Thomas Aquinas through Averroes. Indeed, the notion of iudicium is derived from that of κρίσις, which refers to an active mode of cognition, and Auriol himself refers to Averroes when he develops his theory of iudicium. In addition, Auriol combines this material with Christian theological sources – more precisely, with discussions about the production of the divine Word, which is understood as a 'saying', dicere, of which iu-dicium is an echo.
