Other persons John Bacon John Baconthorpe also Bacon , Baco , and Bacconius ca. 1290 1346 was a learned England English Carmelite monk and scholastic philosopher . Born at Baconthorpe , Norfolk , he seems to have been the grandnephew of Roger Bacon Brit. Mus. Add. MS. 19. 116 . Brought up in the Carmelite monastery of Blakeney, Norfolk Blakeney , near Walsingham , he studied at Oxford and Paris , where he was known as princeps of the Averroists . Ernest Renan Renan , however, says that he merely tried to justify Averroism against the charge of heterodoxy . In 1329 he was chosen twelfth provincial superior provincial of the English Carmelites. He appears to have anticipated John Wycliffe Wycliffe in advocating the subordination of the clergy to the king. In 1333 he was sent for to Rome , where, we are told, he first maintained the pope s authority in cases of divorce but this opinion he retracted. He died in London in 1346. Works His chief work, Doctoris resoluti Joannis Bacconis Anglici Carmelitae radiantissimi opus super quattuor sententiarum libris published 1510 , has passed through several editions. Nearly three centuries later, it was still studied at Padua , the last home of Averroism , and Lucilio Vanini spoke of him with great veneration.

Unreferenced date December 2009 A philosophical movement is either the appearance or increased popularity of a specific school of philosophy , or a fairly broad but identifiable sea change in philosophical thought on a particular subject. Major philosophical movements are often characterized with reference to the nation , language , or historical era in which they arose. Talk of a philosophical movement can often function as a shorthand for talk of the views of a great number of different philosopher s and others associated with philosophy, such as historians, artists, scientists and political figures . On the other hand, most philosophical movements in history consisted in a great number of individual thinkers who disagreed in various ways it is often inaccurate and something of a caricature to treat any movement as consisting in followers of uniform opinion. More often the defining ideas of any philosophical movement are templates on which individual thinkers develop their own particular ideas. Like specific doctrines and theories, movements are often given names with ism suffixes. What makes a movement identifiable and interesting as distinct from a specific theory is simply that a movement consists in a large flourishing of intellectual work on one or more ideas, in a fairly specifiable time and place.

Not much is known of his early life, and the attempt to connect him to known persons from Denmark or Sweden has not been successful. ref Boethius de Dacia, Verdens evighed , Det lille forlag, 2001, p. 8 in Danish ref All that is known is that he went to teach philosophy at the University of Paris . There he associated with Siger of Brabant , and with Siger together with such figures as Roger Bacon and Jean Buridan shared the unusual career path of continuing to teach for some time as arts masters rather than quickly moving on to study in the theology faculty or finding non academic employment. He was Condemnations University of Paris condemned by Stephen Tempier in 1277 as being a leading member of the Averroism Averroist movement . Boetius fled Paris with Siger, and appealed to Pope Nicholas III . He was detained at the pontifical curia at Orvieto , and went on to join the Dominican Order Dominican s in Dacia . Boetius was a follower of Aristotle and Averroes , and wrote on logic , natural philosophy , metaphysics , and ethics , though some of his works have not survived. His central position was that philosophy had to follow the arguments where they led, regardless of their conflict with religious faith. For him, philosophy was the supreme human activity, and in this world only philosophers attained wisdom in his book On the Highest Good, or On the Life of the Philosopher he offers a fervently Aristotelian description of man s highest good as the rational contemplation of truth and virtue.

Pietro Pomponazzi 16 September 1462 &ndash 18 May 1525 was an Italy Italian philosopher . He is sometimes known by his Latin language Latin name, Petrus Pomponatius . Biography Pomponazzi was born in Mantua and began his education there. He completed his studies at Padua , where he became a Physician medical doctor in 1487. In 1488 he was elected extraordinary professor of philosophy at Padua, where he was a colleague of Alessandro Achillini , the Averroist. From about 1495 to 1509 he occupied the chair of natural philosophy until the closing of the schools of Padua, when he took a professorship at Ferrara where he lectured on the Aristotle s De anima the soul . In 1512 he was invited to Bologna where he remained until his death and where he produced all his important works. The predominance of medical science at Padua had cramped his energies, but at Ferrara, and even more at Bologna, the study of psychology and theological speculation were more important. In 1516 he produced his great work De immortalitate animae On the Immortality of the Soul , which gave rise to a storm of controversy between the Thomism orthodox Thomists of the Catholic Church , the Averroism Averroists headed by Agostino Nifo , and the so called Alexandrist School. The treatise was burned at Venice , and Pomponazzi himself ran serious risk of death at the hands of the Catholics. Two pamphlets followed, the Apologia and the Defensorium, wherein he explained his paradoxical position as Catholic and philosophic materialist. His last two treatises, the De incantationibus and the De fato , were posthumously published in an edition of his works printed at Basel . Pomponazzi is profoundly interesting as the herald of the Renaissance . He was born in the period of transition when scholastic formalism was losing its hold over men both in the Church and outside. Hitherto the dogma of the Church had been based on Aristotle as interpreted by Thomas Aquinas . So close was this identification that any attac ... more details

About Elias del Medigo his descendant, the 17th century scientist and philosopher Joseph Solomon Delmedigo Elias del Medigo also called Elijah Delmedigo or Elias ben Moise del Medigo and sometimes known to his contemporaries as Helias Hebreus Cretensis c. 1458 &ndash c. 1493 . Non Jewish students of Delmedigo classified him as an Averroism Averroist , however, he saw himself as a follower of Maimonides . Scholastic association of Maimonides and Ibn Rushd would have been a natural one Maimonides, towards the end of his life, was impressed with the Ibn Rushd commentaries and recommended them to his students. The followers of Maimonides Maimonideans had therefore been, for several generations before Delmedigo, the leading users, translators and disseminators of the works of Ibn Rushd in Jewish circles, and advocates for Ibn Rushd even after Islamic rejection of his radical views. Maimonideans regarded Maimonides and Ibn Rushd as following the same general line. In his book, Delmedigo portrays himself as defender of Maimonidean Judaism, and like many Maimonideans he emphasized the rationality of Jewish tradition. Born in Heraklion Candia , on the island of Crete , at that time was under the control of the Venetian Republic , whither his family had emigrated from Germany , he spent ten years in Rome and in Padua in northern Italy , returning to Candia at the end of his life. He is remembered for a number of translations, commentaries on Averroes Ibn Rushd in Arabic notably a commentary on Averroes Substantia Orbis in 1485 , for his influence on many Italian Platonists of the early Renaissance especially Giovanni Pico della Mirandola , and for his for his treatise on Jewish philosophy, Sefer Bechinat Ha dath Investigation of Religion , published many years after his death, in 1629.

Refimprove date February 2010 This is an article about the western scholars known as Arabists , not the political movement Pan Arabism . An Arabist is someone normally from outside the Arab World who specialises in the study of the Arabic language and Arab culture , and often Arabic literature . Origins See also Al Andalus Arabists began in Al Andalus medieval Muslim Spain , which lay on the frontier between the Muslim world and Christendom . At various times, either a Christian or a Muslim kingdom might be the most hospitable toward scholars. Although some translation of Arabic texts into Latin mostly of works on mathematics and astronomy began as early as the 10th century, major work dates from the School of Toledo , which began during the reign of Alfonso VII of Castile , 1105&ndash 1157 , when Jew s literate in Arabic were driven north from al Andalus by the religious rigidity of the Almohad dynasty. Citation needed date October 2008 Translations were made into medieval Latin or Church Latin , then Europe s lingua franca , or into medieval Spanish , which was the vernacular language of that time and place. Early translations included works by Avicenna , Al Ghazali , Avicebron , etc. books on astronomy, astrology , and medicine and the works of some of the Ancient Greece Ancient Greek philosophers, especially Aristotle , who unlike Plato had been relatively unknown and largely ignored in medieval Christendom prior thereto. The philosophical translations were accompanied by the Islamic commentaries, e.g., on Al Ghazali, Ibn Sina Avicenna , and Ibn Rushd Averro s , to the point of there being an identifiable Averroism Averroist school of philosophy in Christian Europe .
