Robert Kilwardby: Great Medieval Thinkers

Autor José Filipe Silva
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 aug 2020
Archbishop of Canterbury from 1272 until his death in 1279, the Dominican friar Robert Kildwardby has long been known primarily for his participation in the Oxford Prohibitions of 1277, but his contributions spread far wider. A central figure in the Late Middle Ages, Kilwardby was one of the earliest commentators of the work of Aristotle, as well as an unwavering proponent of Augustinian thought and a believer of the plurality of forms. Although he was a prominent thinker of the time, key areas of his philosophical thought remain unexamined in contemporary scholarship. José Filipe Silva here offers the first book-length analysis of Kilwardby's full body of work, which is essential in understanding both the reception of Aristotle in the Latin West and the developments of later medieval philosophy. Beginning with his early philosophical commitments, Silva tracks Kilwardby's life and academic thought, including his theories on knowledge, moral happiness, and the nature of the soul, along with his attempts to reconcile Augustinian and Aristotelian thought. Ultimately, Robert Kilwardby offers a comprehensive overview of an unsung scholar, solidifying his philosophical legacy as one of the most influential authors of the Late Middle Ages.

Recenzii

The strength of this analysis lies in its clarity on the points of modern as well as medieval philosophical importance Kilwardby raised, and on which he often took a distinctive view.
This book's rich reservoir of information is presented in a way that should appeal to both scholars and nonspecialists...Excellent bibliography.
Silva's book is a very substantial introduction to Robert Kilwardby. It provides a much-needed overview of the philosophical and theological thought of this medieval thinker, and makes a very compelling case for its significance to the history of medieval thought. Based on a thorough investigation of the entire vast corpus of this thinker, Silva's presentation shows the richness, sophistication, and originality of Kilwardby's thought. Silva does indeed do full justice to the inclusion of Kilwardby among the great medieval thinkers.
Silva succeeds in covering the different areas of Kilwardby's work - logic, metaphysics, perception, ethics and theology - concisely yet thoroughly. For the first time, readers of this book will be able to grasp as whole the thought of this fascinating, and until recently neglected, contemporary of Aquinas.
Here we have Robert Kilwardby in full: his metaphysics, psychology, logic, ethics, and theology. And because Kilwardby stands in the middle of late medieval philosophy, we get in effect a picture of that field in full, as it stands at the dawn of its greatest figures. If anyone is going to make the case for Kilwardby as a deserving member in the club of Great Medieval Thinkers, it will be José Filipe Silva.
this volume is a thoughtful, illuminating, and indispensable introduction to the work of Robert Kilwardby.
