| Publisher Description: Early in his career, Fernand Brunner became one of the few specialists on Ibn Gabirol, a Jewish philosopher and poet in 11th-century Spain, whose treatise, the Fons vitae, is known only in Latin translation. Brunner showed the coherence of this rarely studied version of Platonism and traced its impact on the scholastic philosophy of the succeeding centuries. His work was guided by a systematic interest in Platonic solutions to such problems as the relations of matter and form, and of God to the world. This volume includes a number of previously unpublished papers, several of which also provide broad expositions of a Platonic ontology. The author makes his reader aware that arguments as well as images must be taken seriously in the attempt to approach the Platonic tradition. D s le d but de sa carri re, Fernand Brunner est rapidement devenu l'un des rares sp cialistes d'Ibn Gabirol, le po te philosophe juif espagnol du 11e si cle - dont le trait , le Fons vit ], n'est connu qu'en version latine. Guid dans ses recherches par un int r at syst matique pour les solutions platoniciennes aux probl mes des rapports entre la forme et la mati re, et entre Dieu et le monde, Brunner a d montr la coh rence de cette interpr tation rarement tudi e du platonisme et en a retrac l'effet sur la philosophie scolastique des si cles suivants. Ce volume comprend plusieurs expos s in dits traitant de l'ontologie platonicienne dont la compr hension, selon Brunner, est essentielle tout historien de la philosophie. L'auteur fait prendre conscience ses lecteurs de l'importance des arguments, tout comme des m taphores, dans toute tentative d'approche de la tradition platonique. |
