A reconsideration of question 2, book 1 of Peter of Ceffon's commentary to the "Sentences", already noticed by Damasus Trapp, enables the reevaluation of the affinities between the Cistercian and Nicholas of Cusa as a way to better qualify both autors's ideas of docta ignorantia. Peter, which devoted to this idea the major part of his long text, seems in fact much less sensitive than Nicholas to the theoretical issues and implications inherent in it; nonehteless, his attitude towards the powers of human reason, his conception and utilization of imagination, his evaluation of the liberal arts, his utilization of mathematical materials from the tradition of the Oxford Calculatores exert a major interest for the history of philosophy around the mid fourteenth century in Paris.

Abstract
A reconsideration of question 2, book 1 of Peter of Ceffon's commentary to the "Sentences", already noticed by Damasus Trapp, enables the reevaluation of the affinities between the Cistercian and Nicholas of Cusa as a way to better qualify both autors's ideas of docta ignorantia. Peter, which devoted to this idea the major part of his long text, seems in fact much less sensitive than Nicholas to the theoretical issues and implications inherent in it; nonehteless, his attitude towards the powers of human reason, his conception and utilization of imagination, his evaluation of the liberal arts, his utilization of mathematical materials from the tradition of the Oxford Calculatores exert a major interest for the history of philosophy around the mid fourteenth century in Paris.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
