Agostino Nifo´s Reading of Thomas Aquinas
Original language description
This paper evaluates Agostino Nifo’s interest in Thomas Aquinas, whom Nifo calls «the first Expositor» of Aristotle. Nifo combines a basic peripateticism with ‘eclecticism’, synthesizing Aristotelian, Averroist, Platonic, Neoplatonic, and magical-hermetic motifs. Despite the absence of direct citation, Nifo appears to use (and sometimes criticize) Aquinas’s commentaries at various points in his treatises; it seems therefore probable that Aquinas influenced his interpretation of Averroes. First, the paper identifies Nifo‘s attitude towards those theories of Aquinas that served his own arguments; second, it analyzes how Nifo’s ambivalent relationship to Aquinas makes manifest Nifo’s complicated, evolving, and synthetic philosophical thought.
