TL;DR: From commentary to manual: the teaching of philosophy in the modern period as discussed by the authors, where logic teaching at the University of Oxford is concerned, this title needs to be glossed, because the significant changes that took place involve the types of commentary and manual rather than the replacement of one by the other.
Abstract: The title of the conference for which this paper was written was «From commentary to manual: the teaching of philosophy in the modern period», but where logic teaching at the University of Oxford is concerned, this title needs to be glossed, because the significant changes that took place involve the types of commentary and manual rather than the replacement of one by the other1. At the beginning of the sixteenth century, university-wide lectures on logic presented the content of the central Aristotelian texts orally with or without detailed commentary, depending on the level of instruction, but students also worked with brief texts devoted to such medieval developments as obligationes, insolubilia and consequences, which had been gathered together in printed manuals, especially the Libellus Sophistarum ad Usum Oxoniensium which was published in England six times between 1499 and 1530, as well as on the European continent2. If we jump to the beginning of the eighteenth century, we find that teaching now took place within the colleges and the halls, which, unlike colleges, were not permanent property-owning, self-

TL;DR: The problem of concordia tra Platone and Aristotele viene a giocarsi not più soltanto sul piano della disamina e della conciliazione delle rispettive dottrine, but anche sul versante della methodus e dellordo, in ragione dellimportanza che tali questioni stavano assumendo nella discussione filosofica coeva as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: A partire dalla seconda metà del ‘500 il problema della concordia tra Platone e Aristotele viene a giocarsi non più soltanto sul piano della disamina e della conciliazione delle rispettive dottrine, ma anche sul versante della methodus e dell’ordo, in ragione dell’importanza che tali questioni stavano assumendo nella discussione filosofica coeva1. In non pochi casi la sottolineatura dei meriti scientifici di Platone, tanto nell’ambito dell’inventio quanto in quello della trasmissione del sapere, era funzionale a promuoverne il diritto di cittadinanza nell’insegnamento ufficiale. Senza la pretesa di condurre una rassegna sistematica, si possono ripercorrere alcuni momenti salienti di questa letteratura, a cominciare dal Trattato dell’istrumento et via inuentrice de gli antichi di Sebastiano Erizzo (1525-1585)2. Il patrizio veneziano, attivo soprattutto

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the evolution of the approach to the study of motion in three Cartesian manuals diffused in 17th century France, in order to determine whether it is untainted by the metaphysical component or if, and on what terms, it remains linked to it.
Abstract: In this paper I will deepen the evolution of the approach to the study of motion in three Cartesian manuals diffused in 17th century France, in order to determine whether it is untainted by the metaphysical component or if, and on what terms, it remains linked to it. At the end of the 17th century Descartes’s thought turned into doctrine and was put into a system in the works of many authors who wished to publish and to accredit new philosophy among a wider audience of scholars and amateurs, but also to rectify its weak points. Attempts to spread and to rebuild human wisdom in accordance with the principles of the Cartesian method and philosophy have been highlighted by several scholars, who trace them back to two main reasons: the first one, as noted by Roger Ariew1, concerns the ambition to replace the whole edifice of

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a transcription and a commentary of three unpublished letters of the Dutch Cartesian philosopher Johannes de Raey (1620-1702), addressed to his former student Johannes Clauberg (1622-1665).
Abstract: The present study aims to present a transcription and a commentary of three unpublished letters of the Dutch Cartesian philosopher Johannes de Raey (1620-1702), addressed to his former student Johannes Clauberg (1622-1665). Mainly containing suggestions concerning the defence of Cartesian philosophy and academic affairs, these letters, dating back to 1651, 1652 and 1661, bear witness of a steady friendship and of a certain cooperation in rebuking the critiques moved by Jacob Revius in his Statera philosophiae cartesianae (1650) and by Cyriacus Lentulus in his Nova Renati Descartes sapientia (1651), refuted in Clauberg’s Defensio cartesiana (1652). According to these letters, this cooperation had to be kept secret, not to provoke the reaction of Leiden theologians. However, the violation of the correspondence of Clauberg and De Raey occasioned the edition of Lentulus’s book and the rise of the polemics over the new philosophy. Eventually, such cooperation is to be noticed also in some crypto-quotations between the edited texts of Clauberg and De Raey. Keywords : Cartesianism, Johannes Clauberg, correspondence, Cyriacus Lentulus, Johannes de Raey DOI : 10.14640/NoctuaI3
