The Fate of Plethon's Criticism of Averroes
Original language description
The aim of the article is to take part in the discussion on Plethon's interest in Averroes, a topic that is important for our understanding of the intellectual interactions between and climate in the Latin West and the Byzantine East. The research is focused on two issues. The first part deals with possible sources of Plethon's knowledge of Averroes and other Arabs. As there is no evidence in Byzantium that any Arabic philosophical text was translated directly from Arabic into Greek, Plethon's knowledgeof Averroes seems to be indirect, coming from various other sources (such as Greek translations of Thomas Aquinas, Jewish intellectual communities in Byzantium, or Italians). The second issue points out Plethon's refutation of Averroes and the role thisrefutation played among the Byzantine émigrés and Renaissance philosophers, especially Plethon's warnings of the danger of an exaggerated admiration of Aristotle's philosophy.
