Abstract:

In some of his most famous works, John Philoponus (c.490-570 CE) confronts numerous aspects of Aristotle’s philosophy and science. Yet the influence of these reinterpretations and critiques remains under-examined. This volume fills this gap by uncovering the considerable impact of Philoponus’ natural philosophy in both the medieval and Renaissance periods. Divided into three parts, the first part of the volume introduces central concepts in Philoponus’ philosophy. Highlighting the areas of crossover as well as of disagreement with Aristotle, chapters dedicate specific attention to Philoponus’ theories of place, matter and vacuum; his ideas of motion; his discussion of the heavens and the fifth element; and his anthropology. This is followed, in parts two and three, by a focus on Philoponus’ reception in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance respectively. Shedding light on the scientific ideas circulating in these periods, international experts explore a range of topics from the renewal of Aristotelianism in the Arab world, through the medieval Byzantine and Latin traditions, to Philoponus’ appearance in the early works of Galileo. Engaging with a number of Philoponus’ key tracts,The Reception of John Philoponus’ Natural Philosophyis both a much-needed study of Philoponus’ influence and a revealing analysis of how Aristotelian science was received, adapted, critiqued and mediated throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

Abstract:

Chapter 2 presents a preliminary chronological overview of the major figures discussed in the work. The major topics of subsequent chapters are arranged thematically, ranging from Jewish philosophy’s earliest awakening in the Hellenistic era with the Greek writings of Philo of Alexandria and its flourishing in the medieval period, to its culmination in the seventeenth century with the radical thought of Baruch Spinoza. The role of Neoplatonism is examined as well as the influences of the Neoplatonists, John Philoponus, Aristotle, the Kalâm theologians, and the Islamic philosophers. The chapter emphasizes the interaction between Jewish thinkers and their intellectual peers.

Abstract:

‘A map of earlier medieval philosophy’ outlines the development of medieval philosophy in its different traditions beginning with the Platonic schools of late antiquity. The five originators of the medieval traditions were Augustine, Boethius, ‘pseudo-Dionysius’, John Philoponus, and Sergius of Resh‘aynā. The most powerful 7th-century philosopher in Byzantium was Maximus the Confessor. In the West, key thinkers included Alcuin and Anselm. The beginnings of Arabic philosophy—kalām and falsafa—and their exponents, including al-Kindī and Avicenna, are then discussed before moving on to Peter Abelard and his 12th-century Latin philosophy, and Muslim and Jewish philosophy in the Islamic West with Averroes and Maimonides.
