Document Details : Title: 'Famosus expositor' Subtitle: On Bate's (Anti-)Thomism Author(s): GULDENTOPS, Guy Journal: Recherches de Théologie et Philosophie Médiévales Volume: 72 Issue: 2 Date: 2005 Pages: 191-231 DOI: 10.2143/RTPM.72.2.2004136 Abstract : Bate shares with Thomas Aquinas the common scholastic world-view, in which Aristotle’s philosophy of nature, psychology, ethics and metaphysics are interpreted against a Christian-Neoplatonic background. Nonetheless, an analysis of the Platonizing and often anti-Thomistic interpretations of Aristotle which are developed in the Speculum divinorum shows that Bate cannot be characterized as a Thomist, but rather is a compiler who endeavors to bring different philosophies into harmony. |
