213. Institutsseminar: Cecilia Trifogli, English Commentaries on Aristotle’s Physics from the 13th Century (26. 6. 2017)

Am Montag, den 26. Juni 2017, findet ab 17.15 Uhr im Hörsaal des Instituts für Österreichische Geschichtsforschung das 213. Institutsseminar des Instituts für Österreichische Geschichtsforschung statt. Es spricht Cecilia Trifogli, Professor of Medieval Philosophy an der University of Oxford, zum Thema:

„English Commentaries on Aristotle’s Physics from the 13th Century“

Abstract: I will focus on the early commentaries on Aristotle’s Physics (around 1250–70), which have been the primary object of my research in the last twenty-five years. I will first give a general outline of this tradition. I will then present in some detail important doctrinal aspects characteristic of it. These will include (i) the species-theory of natural agency, and (ii) the realism about change and time. I will finally discuss the textual tradition of one of the works belonging to this tradition, i.e., Geoffrey of Aspall’s commentary, which has been recently edited in the series Auctores Britannici Medii Aevi.

Die Veranstaltung ist wie alle Institutsseminare öffentlich, Gäste sind herzlich willkommen. Die Einladung im PDF-Format gibt es hier.
