Philosophical Background and Theological Significance"},"abstract":"In this book, Lydia Schumacher challenges the common assumption that early Franciscan thought simply reiterates the longstanding tradition of Augustine. She demonstrates how scholars from this tradition incorporated the work of Islamic and Jewish philosophers, whose works had recently been translated from Arabic, with a view to developing a unique approach to questions of human nature. These questions pertain to perennial philosophical concerns about the relationship between the body and the soul, the work of human cognition and sensation, and the power of free will. By highlighting the Arabic sources of early Franciscan views on these matters, Schumacher illustrates how scholars working in the early thirteenth century anticipated later developments in Franciscan thought which have often been described as novel or unprecedented. Above all, her study demonstrates that the early Franciscan philosophy of human nature was formulated with a view to bolstering the order's specific theological and religious ideals.","btype":1,"date":"2023","language":"English","online_url":"","doi_url":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/9781009201131","ti_url":"","categories":[{"id":43,"category_name":"Tradition and Reception","link":"bib?categories[]=Tradition and Reception"},{"id":42,"category_name":"Augustine","link":"bib?categories[]=Augustine"},{"id":31,"category_name":"Metaphysics","link":"bib?categories[]=Metaphysics"}],"authors":[{"id":1857,"full_name":"Lydia Schumacher","role":1}],"works":[],"republication_of":null,"translation_of":null,"new_edition_of":null,"book":{"id":5617,"pubplace":"Cambridge, United Kingdom; New York, NY, USA","publisher":"Cambridge University Press","series":"","volume":"","edition_no":"","valid_from":null,"valid_until":null},"booksection":null,"article":null},"sort":[2023]}

Ne sono esempio macroscopico le opere di Averro\u00e8, oggetto di una seconda massiccia ondata di traduzioni latine tra il 1488 e il 1562, dopo la prima ondata del XIII secolo. Questo volume dimostra come Giovanni Pico della Mirandola - icona mitica dell'Umanesimo e padre della scoperta della qabbalah - fu anche indiscutibile pioniere e sponsor della traduzione di un vasto corpus di opere filosofiche di Averro\u00e8 (e di altri filosofi islamici ed ebrei), a partire dalle versioni ebraiche medievali. L'analisi minuziosa dei manoscritti \"averroistici\" posseduti e postillati da Pico ha dato avvio a un'indagine a tutto campo sulle fonti dell'averroismo rinascimentale, all'interno del quale il filosofo e traduttore ebreo-cretese Elia del Medigo (c. 1455-c. 1493) si rivela uno dei protagonisti. Le opere originali e le nuove traduzioni compiute da Del Medigo, su richiesta di Pico, costituiscono infatti l'atto di nascita di quella \"seconda rivelazione\" di Averro\u00e8 che culminer\u00e0 nella pubblicazione della monumentale edizione giuntina (1550-52, 1562) dell'Aristotele e dell'Averro\u00e8 latino.\r\n\r\nQuesto volume valorizza l\u2019insieme della produzione averroistica di Del Medigo, mostrandone l\u2019indisgiungibile rapporto con le 900 Tesi di Pico (pubblicate nel 1486) e l\u2019importanza che rivest\u00ec anche per le successive generazioni di traduttori dall\u2019ebraico. Di alcune opere e traduzioni di Del Medigo si offre qui, per la prima volta, l\u2019edizione critica.","btype":1,"date":"2022","language":"Italian","online_url":"","doi_url":"","ti_url":"","categories":[{"id":43,"category_name":"Tradition and Reception","link":"bib?categories[]=Tradition and Reception"},{"id":18,"category_name":"Surveys","link":"bib?categories[]=Surveys"},{"id":5,"category_name":"Renaissance","link":"bib?categories[]=Renaissance"},{"id":7,"category_name":"Latin Averroism","link":"bib?categories[]=Latin Averroism"}],"authors":[{"id":1599,"full_name":"Giovanni Licata","role":1}],"works":[],"republication_of":null,"translation_of":null,"new_edition_of":null,"book":{"id":5416,"pubplace":"Palermo","publisher":"Officina di Studi Medievali","series":"Machina philosophorum","volume":"","edition_no":"","valid_from":null,"valid_until":null},"booksection":null,"article":null},"sort":[2022]}

Without direct access to Plato, their understanding of Socrates is indirect, based on legendary material, on fragmentary quotations from Plato, or on Aristotle. Out of these sources, Jewish authors of this period formed two distinct views of Socrates: one as a wise, ascetic, monotheist, and the other as a vocal skeptic. The latter view has its roots in Plato's Apology where Socrates describes his divine mandate to question all knowledge, including knowledge of the divine. After exploring how this and similar questions arise in the works of Judah Halevi and the Hebrew Averroes, Halper traces how such open-questioning of the divine arises in the works of Maimonides, Jacob Anatoli, Gersonides, and Abraham Bibago.

This book aims to fill this lacuna by tracing and contextualizing both Polqar\u2019s Islamic sources (al-F\u0101r\u0101b\u012b, Avicenna, and Averroes) and his Jewish sources (Maimonides and Isaac Albalag).\r\n\r\nThe study brings to light three of Polqar\u2019s main purposes; (1) seeking to defend Judaism as a true religion against Christianity; (2) similarly to his fellow Jewish Averroists, Polqar wishes to defend the discipline of philosophy. By philosophy, Polqar means Averroes' interpretation of Aristotle. As a consequence, he offers an Averroistic interpretation of Judaism and becomes one of the main representatives of Jewish Averroism; (3) defending his philosophical interpretation of Judaism.\r\n\r\nFrom a social and political point of view, Polqar's unreserved embrace of philosophy raised problems within the Jewish community; he had to refute the Jewish traditionalists\u2019 charge that he was a heretic, led astray by philosophy.\r\nThe main objective guiding this study is that Polqar advances a systematic naturalistic interpretation of Judaism, which in many cases does not agree with traditional Jewish views.\r\n\r\n\"Haliva\u2019s lucid, learned, and incisive monograph on the thought of Isaac Polqar is the first comprehensive study devoted to this important, but neglected fourteenth century Jewish Averroist. It makes a significant contribution to our knowledge of post-Maimonidean medieval Jewish philosophy. Haliva convincingly shows that while Polqar claims to follow Maimonides, he consistently pushes his thought in a more radical direction, offering a severely naturalistic interpretation of Jewish religious principles and refusing to make any concessions to more traditional theological modes of thought. Her study leads us to ask whether it is possible to uphold such an uncompromising philosophical and naturalistic reading of Judaism as that of Polqar, that is, whether it does justice to the Jewish religious principles it purports to interpret and enables us to maintain the authority of traditional Halakhah.\"","btype":1,"date":"2020","language":"English","online_url":"","doi_url":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1515\/9783110569599","ti_url":"","categories":[{"id":21,"category_name":"Aristotle","link":"bib?categories[]=Aristotle"},{"id":8,"category_name":"Jewish Averroism","link":"bib?categories[]=Jewish Averroism"},{"id":43,"category_name":"Tradition and Reception","link":"bib?categories[]=Tradition and Reception"}],"authors":[],"works":[],"republication_of":null,"translation_of":null,"new_edition_of":null,"book":{"id":5411,"pubplace":"Berlin; Boston","publisher":"De Gruyter","series":"Jewish Thought, Philosophy and Religion","volume":"3 ","edition_no":"","valid_from":null,"valid_until":null},"booksection":null,"article":null},"sort":[2020]}
