What is Metaphysics in Baroque Scotism? Key Passages from Bartolomeo Mastri’s Disputations on Metaphysics (1646–1647)

Original language description

This contribution offers a first-hand impression of Bartolomeo Mastri’s Disputations on Metaphysics, the single most important work on metaphysics produced in the Scotist school during the Early Modern period. I shall highlight a selection of key passages that convey an impression of this work’s historical-literary context, its subject matter, its main motifs, and scientific aims, but also its limitations. Notably, we see Mastri emphasizing the theological aspect of metaphysics, though he in the end refrains from exploring this aspect of metaphysics within his work on metaphysics. I suggest that this discrepancy between Mastri’s concept of metaphysics and his practice of metaphysics showcases the difficulty of organizing this discipline during the period of transition from the traditional commentary format, typical of medieval scholasticism, to the Early Modern scholastic Cursus philosophicus literature.
