BUEPO LS

Although metaphysics as a discipline can hardly be separated from Aristotle and

his works, the questions it raises were certainly known to authors even before

the reception of Aristotle in the thirteenth century. Even without the explicit use

of this term the twelfth century m anifested a strong interest in metaphysical

questions under the guise of "natural philosophy" or "divine science", leading

M.-D. Chenu to coin the expression of a twelfth century "éveil métaphysique".

In their comm entaries on Boethius and under the influence of Neoplatonism,

twelfth century authors not only anticipate essential elements of thirteenth cen

tury metaphysics, they also make an original contribution to the history of meta

physics by attempting to integrate the theory of first principles, philosophical theo

logy and ontology. This volume presents and examines the contributions of the

twelfth century to metaphysics made by selected Jewish, Christian and Muslim

authors of the Iberian Peninsula and Francia.

Contributors include M atthias Lutz-Bachm ann (Frankfurt am M ain), Andreas

Speer (Würzburg), Charles Burnett (London), Alexander Fidora (Frankfurt am

Main), Thomas Ricklin (Neuchâtel), Yossef Schwartz (Tel Aviv), Josep Udina

(Barcelona), Jack C. M arier (St. Louis/USA), Gillian R. Evans (Cambridge),

Andreas Niederberger (Frankfurt am Main) and Françoise Hudry (Paris).
