La ricezione di Anassagora nel Medioevo : il caso di Alberto Magno

This article aims to demonstrate that the appeal of Anaxagoras in the Middle Ages is linked with that of later philosophical traditions such as Stoicism (in Albert), Hermeticism (in Eckhart) and Stoicism and Hermeticism together (in Thomas of York). At the same time, it shows that Anaxagoras is, for Albert, not only the philosopher that Aristotle criticized, but also the author of doctrines that are the basis of doctrinal, philosophical and theological errors. Albert is concerned with correcting them by endorsing the Aristotelian doctrine. [Publisher's text]
