The Theory of Cognition in Transylvania (1629–1658). The Herborn Tradition and the Influence of Dutch Cartesianism

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This paper compares the two models of the theory of cognition established by the Herborn encyclopaedists and by their successor in Transylvania, János Apáczai Csere. I claim that the major difference between the considerations of the Herborners and those of Apáczai Csere lies in the modest and gradual separation of the realms of faith and reason. Whereas Johann Heinrich Alsted, Johann Heinrich Bisterfeld, Jan Amos Comenius, and Apáczai Csere’s first master, András Porcsalmi, based their theories of cognition on the three interrelated foundations of experience, right reason, and the Holy Writ in a typically Trinitarian fashion, Apáczai Csere gradually adopted the Cartesian use of the exegetical principle of accommodation, which separates knowledge deriving from the Bible and the book of nature. It is highly possible that one of the major sources to catalyse Apáczai Csere’s interest in this issue was an anonymous book published in the Netherlands and devoted to Copernicanism. Apáczai Csere’s Cartesianism should not be overestimated, however. In his late Philosophia naturalis, typical of the eclecticism of the second and third Post-Ramist generations, Apáczai Csere happily combines theories taken from Cartesians with notions reminiscent of William Ames and the moral principles of Protestant scholasticism so familiar to Alsted and the other Herborners.
