Synopsis
Contributing Authors

From a careful reading of the entire Aristotelian corpus, with particular focus on the physical, cosmological, and metaphysical texts, this work shows the centrality of the notion of principle in the Aristotelian study of the gods. More than a theology that seeks to define the essence of divinity, the Aristotelian inquiry into the gods (celestial bodies or immobile driving forces) constitutes an archology.

English summary: From a careful reading of the entire Aristotelian corpus, with particular focus on the physical, cosmological, and metaphysical texts, this work shows the centrality of the notion of principle in the Aristotelian study of the gods. More than a theology that seeks to define the essence of divinity, the Aristotelian inquiry into the gods (celestial bodies or immobile driving forces) constitutes an archology. French description: Poser la question du divin chez Aristote, c’est tenter de determiner a quelle necessite philosophique la conception aristotelicienne de la nature et de la causalite des dieux est censee repondre. A partir d’une lecture minutieuse de l’ensemble du corpus, et plus particulierement des textes physiques, cosmologiques et metaphysiques, cet ouvrage montre la centralite de la notion de principe dans l’etude aristotelicienne des dieux. Plus qu’une theologie qui chercherait a definir pour elle-meme l’essence de la divinite, l’enquete aristotelicienne sur les dieux (corps celestes ou moteurs immobiles) constitue une archologie, une science du principe. Qu’il s’integre a l’etude de la nature ou a celle des substances, chaque examen des realites divines, chaque formulation a laquelle il aboutit, se justifie d’abord en raison des exigences conceptuelles qui pesent sur la notion de principe premier, avant de se conformer a la logique conceptuelle de la divinite, de l’approfondir, voire de la renouveler.
