Relacje między zabobonami a wiedzą naukową w komentarzach Waltera Burleya do Parva Naturalia Arystotelesa
Journal Title: Przegląd Tomistyczny - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
For a modern reader, Walter Burley’s commentaries on Aristotle’s Parva naturalia are a puzzling blend of superstitions and rational arguments. A more detailed analysis of selected issues shows that they are very well integrated within a complex worldview. What is more, the Christian-Aristotelian worldview of those times allowed for critical procedures of data analysis, which enabled scholars of the time to test the everyday beliefs and see whether they can be explained by means of the accepted theories. This way they were able to preserve coherence of the system of knowledge and identify the exceptional cases, which were branded as superstitions.
