1910. Edited by Charles Douglas and R.P. Hardie. An essay on Pietro
Pomponazzi, the philosopher and founder of the
Aristotelian-Averroistic School. His great work De immortalitate
animi, gave rise to a storm of controversy between the orthodox
Thomists of the Catholic Church, the 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. Chapters: Aristotle in
the Early Middle Ages; The Arabians and St. Thomas; Pomponazzi as
an Aristotelian; Pomponazzi's Psychology; The Soul; Intelligence;
Sense; Reason; Knowledge; The Nature of Virtue; and Natural Law in
Human Life and Religion.
