| Publisher Description: Der Triumph der Philosophie des Altdorfer Gelehrten Nicolaus Taurellus (1547-1606), der zuerst in Basel im Jahr 1573 erschien, ist einer der ersten Traktate zur aristotelischen Metaphysik im Deutschland der Reformationszeit. Von seinen theologischen Zeitgenossen wegen seiner Grundthese, die Philosophie sei selbst die Grundlage des Glaubens, heftig kritisiert, priesen ihn Gelehrte der Aufklarung wie Pierre Bayle (1647-1706) und Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716) als herausragenden Philosophen. Taurellus' Traktat, bis 1617 in zwei Auflagen erschienen, war richtungweisend fur die fruhneuzeitliche Tradition der spekulativen Gotteslehre. The Triumph der Philosophie, (Triumph of Philosophy) written by the Altdorf scholar Nicolaus Taurellus (1547-1606), first published in Basel in 1573, is one of the first treatises on Aristotelian metaphysics during the Reformation period in Germany. Harshly criticized by his theological contemporaries because of his basic theory that philosophy itself is the basis of faith, Enlightenment scholars such as Pierre Bayle (1647-1706) and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716) called him an outstanding philosopher. Taurellus' treatise, of which two editions were published by 1617, set a precedent for the early modern tradition of the speculative doctrine of God. |
