Topic: Boetius of Dacia


  
  Boetius of Dacia Summary
Boetius of Dacia was an Aristotelian and Averroist philosopher of the thirteenth century, sometimes called Boetius of Sweden, after the country of his birth.
Boetius was a follower of Aristotle and Averroes, and wrote on logic, natural philosophy, metaphysics, and ethics, though some of his works have not survived.
Despite his radical views, Boetius remained a Christian, and attempted to reconcile his religious beliefs with his philosophical position by assigning the investigation of the world and of human nature to philosophy, while to religion he assigned supernatural revelation and divine miracles.

 La Revue ARCHES No. 7
The formulation of the two truths, as I have ment ioned earlier, was quite an influential factor in the reception of Averroism as professed by Siger and Boetius, the consequence being that the philosophy of the two "artistae" was categorised as sophistic.
In essence, Boetius maintained the fact that any discourse that produces knowledge deal with nature, with the sky, or with the sufficient cause of all and is, by consequence, a branch of philosophy that "reflects the entire being, in a natural, mathematical, or divine sense"37.

 On the Supreme Good, or on the Life of the Philosopher   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
In Boetius of Dacia’s essay, "On the Supreme Good," he says that there is a supreme possible good in every man. He clarifies that he does not mean good in an absolute sense, but that there is a degree of supremacy that is attainable specifically to man, and this potential is not infinite.
Boetius explores the supreme good by saying that it must be found in terms of man’s highest power, which he believes to be the intellect.
Boetius goes on to be slightly more dogmatic when he says that any action which is not directed toward the supreme good, even if it is an indifferent or neutral action, is a sin.

 A History of Western Philosophy 2.21
Boetius of Dacia held views that are both more openly abrasive and unequivocal in their implications.
As if from an excess of professional pride, Boetius held that the pursuit of philosophy is the highest human pursuit, that only philosophers are wise, and that there is absolutely no restriction on philosophical activity.
With what one sometimes suspects must have been perverse delight, Boetius went on to list a number of other articles of Christian faith which are philosophical absurdities, though he seems never to have urged that men cease and desist believing them.

According to professor Jensen S. Skovgaard, the word "Dacia" had two meanings: the first referred to a member of a Dominican or Franciscan Order, this suggesting that the person was coming from province Dacia, a territory which included between its borders Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland.
The second meaning was alluding to the old Dacia mentioned in the medieval texts, a territory that also bore the name of Dania or Denmark.
Personally I do not think Boeticus of Dacia's national descent should be kept under debate between the Swedes and the Danes; maybe the key which could unlock the door to their pre - history lies somewhere else, in eastern Dacia.

This movement, which Siger was also involved in, resulted in the condemnation of 1277 (see The Parisian Condemnations below).
Boetius wrote De Aeternitate Mundi, a short work called De Summo Bono, a treatise: De Modis Significandi, and some quaestio-commentaries on some of Aristotle's works.
It was once believed that after the condemnation of 1277, Boetius and Siger fled to the Papal court, and some even thought that Boetius served as an intern there, but there is not much evidence to support this.

 Scholasticism's End
Although Aquinas himself showed great caution in applying the ideas of Ibn Rushd to Christian theology, others were far more daring.
Boetius of Dacia, for example, raised serious questions about individual immortality, and Siger of Brabant explicitly declared that human thought occurs only within the context of a comprehensive, single, unified intellect—a notion that would re-emerge during the modern period in the philosophy of Spinoza).
Philosophical dispute about such matters has theological implications, and the church was not reluctant to express its concern.

Apogeul aristotelismului a generat o serie de dispute ce au angajat trei orientari de gindire concurente.
Dintre acestea, cel mai putin cunoscuta este "averroismul latin" (sau "aristotelismul heterodox"), printre ai carui protagonisti se numara si Boetius din Dacia.
Printre putinele lucrari care s-au pastrat de la filosoful danez se numara si tratatele incluse in acest volum, doua exegeze aristotelice aparute in contextul miscarii aristotelico-averroiste din mediul universitar parizian al anilor 1268-1272.

 Bibliography of L. M. de Rijk - First Part: from 1950 to 1974
Grabmann was of the opinion that the only logician bearing the name of Simon in the second part of the thirteenth century was Simon of Faversham, since master Simon of Dacia was a grammarian, known especially for his tract Domus gramatice (*).
However, his being a grammarian does not at all exclude his possible authorship of logical works, as may appear from the case of the Modist Boetius of Dacia, who also wrote a commentary on Aristotle's Topics.
However, our author's apparent preference for Albert the Great and Avicenna as his sources seems to point to Simon of Faversham as the author of our commentary.

Averroism is the term applied to either of two philosophical trends among scholastics in the late 13th century, the first of which was based on Averroës' interpretations of Aristotle.
The main philosophers involved were Siger of Brabant and Boetius of Dacia.

 Ralph Dumain: "The Autodidact Project": Essay: Undoing Substantial Connection (3)
Even Ockham's own fideism does not, however, suffice to resolve the problems raised by his logic.
Despite its sincerity, it served as a means of avoiding the direct confrontation of faith and reason, as it had similarly served such thirteenth-century philosophers as Siger de Brahant and Boetius of Dacia.
The problem of "humanity" is treated in the Summa Totius Logicae; see especially Ockham's demonstration that the proposition "Humanity is in Socrates" is false (Boehner, pp.
