Descrição
The encounter between the Christian ethos of knowledge – synthetized by Saint Augustine and largely adopted by medieval Fathers – and Aristotle’s “scientific” method – based on logics and on the sensitive knowledge of Scholasticism –, is among the main accomplishments of the Latin Western world, and took place, mainly, within the University. Epistemological discussions joined institutional debates – intensified by disputes between secular groups, and mendicants, with highlight to the work of Bonaventure of Bagnoregio (c.1217-1274), minister general of the Franciscan Order and a master at the University of Paris. In his formulations on the knowledge and the statute of the Franciscan institution, Bonaventure placed himself inside the university debate, settling the bases to the Franciscan thought and to the work of his Order – both in the Church and in the University. ||La asociación entre el ethos cristiano del conocimiento – sintetizado por Agustín y ampliamente adoptado por los Padres medievales – y el método “científico” aristotélico – basado en la lógica y en el conocimiento sensible y asociado a la Escolástica –, fue una de las realizaciones más destacadas del Occidente latino, y tuvo lugar, especialmente, en el ambiente de la Universidad. A la discusión epistemológica, se asoció el debate institucional, estimulado por las disputas entre seculares y mendicantes, con destaque para la actuación de Buenaventura de Bagnoregio (c.1217-1274), ministro-general de la Orden Franciscana y maestro de la Universidad de Paris. En sus formulaciones acerca del conocimiento y del estatuto de la Orden Franciscana, Buenaventura se insertó en el debate universitario, estableciendo las bases para el pensamiento franciscano y para la actuación de la Orden – en la Iglesia y en la Universidad.|| The encounter between the Christian ethos of knowledge – synthetized by Saint Augustine and largely adopted by medieval Fathers – and Aristotle’s “scientific” method – based on logics and on the sensitive knowledge of Scholasticism –, is among the main accomplishments of the Latin Western world, and took place, mainly, within the University.
