Chapter 1Introduction

Giglioni, Guido

Pages: 1 –34

[Before launching into the discussions and debates at the heart of this volume, a number of disclaimers and caveats are in order. First of all, this is not primarily a book on Ibn Rushd, the renowned judge, physician and commentator of Aristotle who lived in twelfth-century al-Andalus, but on a...

Averroes against Avicenna on Human Spontaneous Generation: The Starting-Point of a Lasting Debate

Bertolacci, Amos

Pages: 37 –54

[The first criticism of Avicenna in Averroes’s Long Commentary on Metaphysica (II, 993a30-995a20) regards Avicenna’s doctrine of the asexual (so-called ‘spontaneous’) generation of human beings. This criticism is interesting in two main regards. When considered in the general historical context...

Revisiting the 1552–1550 and 1562 Aristotle-Averroes Edition

Burnett, Charles

Pages: 55 –64

[This article analyses the changes that were made between the well-known edition of all the works of Aristotle with the commentaries of Averroes published by Giunta brothers in Venice in 1550 (with a prefatory volume dated 1552), and an edition of 1562 from the same publishing house. It shows how...

Humanism and the Assessment of Averroes in the Renaissance

Martin, Craig

Pages: 65 –79

[Despite Renaissance humanists’ polemics against Averroes, interest in his writings grew during the sixteenth century. This interest was related to humanism. As Aristotelians became increasingly aware of the Greek commentators on Aristotle, many saw Averroes as an heir to the ancient tradition....

Marsilio Ficino on Saturn, the Plotinian Mind, and the Monster of Averroes

Allen, Michael J. B.

Pages: 81 –97

[This chapter explores some striking aspects of Marsilio Ficino’s many-sided engagement with Saturn. It focuses, however, not so much on the old god’s traditional mythological and astrological associations, though these played important roles for Ficino for both personal and medical reasons, as...

The Transmutations of a Young Averroist: Agostino Nifo’s Commentary on the Destructio Destructionum of Averroes and the Nature of Celestial Influences

Holland, Nicholas

Pages: 99 –123

[This chapter examines Agostino Nifo’s analysis of the nature of celestial influence on the sublunary world in his commentary on Averroes’s Destructio destructionum (Tahāfut al-Tahāfut). First it explores how Nifo derives from sources contained in Averroes’s work and through the mediation of...

Intellectual Beatitude in the Averroist Tradition: The Case of Agostino Nifo

Spruit, Leen

Pages: 125 –144

[In De anima, III, text 36 (431b 17–19), Aristotle suggested that incorporeal beings could be viewed as objects of thought. Arabic philosophers, and particularly Averroes, interpreted this passage in terms of intellectual beatitude, maintaining that the ultimate goal of human life consisted in...

Averroistic Themes in Girolamo Cardano’s De Immortalitate Animorum

Valverde, José Manuel García

Pages: 145 –171

[In his De immortalite animorum (1545), Cardano proves to be abreast of the contemporary debate over the individual immortality of the human soul. The debate had reached its peak when Pietro Pomponazzi published De immortalitate animae (1516). Cardano did not hesitate to measure himself with such...

Phantasms of Reason and Shadows of Matter: Averroes’s Notion of the Imagination and Its Renaissance Interpreters

Giglioni, Guido

Pages: 173 –193

[In Averroes’s view of the cosmos, living beings discern, animals imagine, individual human beings cogitate, humankind as a whole thinks, and intellects intuit and understand themselves. In other words, natural operations in living organisms are capable of discriminating between the useful and...

The Cambridge Platonists and Averroes

Hutton, Sarah

Pages: 197 –211

[The ‘Averroism’ which figures in my chapter is a radically attenuated version of the philosophy of Ibn Rushd – Averroism as represented by a single doctrine imputed to the Commentator, namely the idea of a single soul, common to all human beings. The subject of my chapter has less, therefore to...
