Although scholars in the middle ages are often presented as lone actors who produced highly-individual texts, their works are often the result of several levels of collective work that provided the necessary foundation for their independent effort, as well as the production and sharing of texts and knowledge. This colloquium aims to explore different aspects of the spectrum of collective intellectual endeavours, particularly in university settings in Latin Europe and relevant institutions of learning in the Hebrew, Greek and Arabic linguistic cultures.

Complete Program

The colloquium will be hosted by the Institute of Philosophy of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague, Czech Republic.

This international online seminar series is organized by Simone Guidi and Enrico Pasini at the CNR’s Institute for the european intellectual lexicon and history of ideas (CNR-ILIESI) and is associated with a forthcoming special issue of the Aristotelica journal. It aims to bring together leading scholars in the history of late medieval, Renaissance, and early modern Aristotelianism, invited to examine significant case studies in the development of Aristotelian terminology connected with natural philosophy.

From the fourteenth century until the end of the sixteenth century, Aristotelian natural philosophy underwent slight but significant conceptual adjustments. These changes are due to a number of intertwining factors, such as the eclecticism of the Nominalistic schools, the introduction of new textual practices, the rediscovery of alternative ancient sources, and the rising of non-Aristotelian trends in natural philosophy. As a tradition constructed in particular through dialectical reasoning and upon seeking proper definitions, Aristotelianism reveals these novelties, primarily via the development of new terminology, or in the adaptation of the vocabulary of medieval schools to new conceptual frameworks.
