| Sumario: | We discuss here if the process of progressive autonomy of science from theology and metaphysics might have had some antecedents in the Later Middle Ages. Firstly, we analyze Aquinas's distinction between revealed and rational theology, as well as his defense of the efficacy of secondary causes. Secondly, we present Ockham's even deeper tendency towards a distinction between Christian theology, metaphysics and natural science. Nevertheless, their effort to support an autonomous science with philosophical foundations is not likely to have had real impact on the following process of distinguishing science from speculation. |
