Réceptions de la Théologie Aristotélicienne

By Baghdassarian F.

Book Description

This scholarly exploration delves into the enduring influence of Aristotelian theological thought, tracing how divine principles conceived by the ancient philosopher have evolved through centuries of interpretation and debate. Baghdassarian examines the inherent tensions within Aristotle's conception of divine principles, revealing the epistemological, archaeological, and theological challenges that have both enriched and complicated his legacy.

The work illuminates how Aristotelian theology carries within itself multiple potentialities that subsequent thinkers have drawn upon, whether embracing or critiquing his foundational ideas. Through diverse contributions, this volume demonstrates how different traditions have actualized these theological concepts, showing the dynamic relationship between ancient wisdom and evolving spiritual understanding.

Rather than attempting comprehensive coverage, the author presents selected examples of how Aristotelian divine principles have been reinterpreted across different contexts and time periods. These range from exegetical approaches that seek to faithfully interpret the original texts to more polemical engagements that challenge or transform Aristotelian concepts.

For readers interested in the intersection of philosophy and spirituality, this work offers insight into how foundational theological ideas continue to shape religious and philosophical discourse. The book traces the historical effects of these reinterpretations, revealing how ancient concepts of the divine remain relevant to contemporary spiritual inquiry and theological reflection.
