| Sumario: | Among the controversies that troubled the intellectual world in the 13th century, the debate about the problem of the possible eternity of the world occupies a prominent place. The three main currents of academic Aristotelianism agreed that the the temporality of the world is a truth of faith. But there was no agreement on the problem of the possibility of an eternal world. While eclectic Aristotelianism considered the acceptance of these “heretical”, moderate Aristotelianism did not reject it. However, they advocated –although with some vacillations– its indemonstrability. Finally, the rigid Aristotelians asserted that the philosophy of the Stagirite can demonstrate this eternity and that, therefore, the rejection of the possibility of an eternal world necessarily implies that some of the fundamental principles of Aristotle’s system be left aside. |
