Synopsis
Contributing Authors

This book tells the story of an intellectual adventure: the effort made by Masters of Arts at Medieval Universities to interpret Aristotle’s De anima, along with scientific writings from the Islamic world.

This book explores the intersection between the early development of medieval universities and the arrival of Aristotle’s works in the Christian West, especially De anima: one of his most famous and obscure writings, straddling the fields of biology and psychology, and devoted to the functions of living beings – including the human being. The leading figures in this very special meeting of cultures, also involving scientific writings from the Islamic world, are the Masters of Faculties of Arts. From the first half of the 13th century, they embarked on a theoretically very demanding enterprise, namely to restore a complete understanding of De anima
