Overview

English summary: This volume, which brings together contributions from several scholars of ancient and medieval thought, aims to explore the reception of Neoplatonism and Aristotelianism in Western philosophy during the extensive period between the second and sixteenth centuries: in Greek and Latin patristics (Valentinian Gnosis, Augustine of Hippo, Method of Olympus, Theodore Studite), in the Greek philosophy of late Antiquity (Plotinus, Ammonios), in the thought of the Latin Middle Ages (Thomas Aquinas, Henry of Ghent, Meister Eckhart) and medieval Georgia (Ioane Petritsi), as well as among certain Renaissance authors (M. Ficin, F. Patrizi, F. Suarez). This collection does not aim to provide an exhaustive vision, but instead offers specific, new and stimulating insights through the study of aspects, concepts or particular elements that illustrate the various facets of the reception of the two great philosophical currents. This volume also helps to overcome the temporal and geographical barriers that separate various eras and cultural regions in order to embrace a broader perspective and look at the long duration of Western thought. It thus allows a better understanding of the different forms and means of the translatio studii which has worked within philosophical culture and permitted its development on the European continent. French description: Ce volume, qui reunit les contributions de plusieurs specialistes de la pensee antique et medievale, a eu pour but d'explorer la reception du neoplatonisme et de l'aristotelisme dans la philosophie occidentale pendant la longue duree qui va du IIe au XVIe siecle: dans la patristique grecque et latine (Gnose valentinienne, Augustin d'Hippone, Methode d'Olympe, Theodore Studite), dans la philosophie grecque de l'Antiquite tardive (Plotin, Ammonios), dans la pensee du Moyen Age latin (Thomas d'Aquin, Henri de Gand, Maitre Eckhart) et de la Georgie medievale (Ioane Petritsi), ainsi que chez certains auteurs de la Renaissance (M. Ficin, F. Patrizi, F. Suarez). L'ensemble des etudes publiees ne vise pas a fournir une vision exhaustive, mais propose des eclairages ponctuels, nouveaux et stimulants a travers l'etude d'aspects, concepts ou elements particuliers qui illustrent les diverses facettes de la reception des deux grands courants philosophiques. Aussi, ce volume contribue a depasser les cloisonnements temporels et geographiques qui separent les diverses epoques et regions culturelles afin d'embrasser une perspective plus large et de porter un regard sur la longue duree de la pensee occidentale. Il permet ainsi de mieux apprehender differentes formes et moyens de la translatio studii qui a oeuvre au sein de la culture philosophique et a permis son developpement dans le continent europeen.
