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. Entre las controversias que ocuparon el mundo intelectual en el siglo XIII, el debate sobre el problema de la posible eternidad del mundo tuvo un lugar prominente. Las tres principales corrientes del aristotelismo académico coincidieron en que la temporalidad del mundo es una verdad de fe. Pero no había acuerdo sobre el problema de la posibilidad de un mundo eterno. Mientras que el aristotelismo ecléctico consideró que aceptarla era incurrir en herejía, el aristotelismo moderado no lo rechazó. Sin embargo, abogaron –aunque con algunas vacilaciones– por su indemostrabilidad. Finalmente, los aristotélicos rígidos afirmaban que la filosofía del Estagirita puede demostrar esta eternidad y que, por lo tanto, el rechazo de la posibilidad de un mundo eterno implica necesariamente que se dejen de lado algunos de los principios fundamentales del sistema de Aristóteles. application/pdf http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/8301 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/8301/7278 Patristica et Mediævalia; Vol 3 (1982); 3-19 Patristica et Mediævalia; Vol. 3 (1982); 3-19 2683-9636 0325-2280 Aristotle Middle Ages 13th Century World's Eternity Christian Faith Aristóteles Edad Media Siglo XIII Eternidad del mundo Fe cristiana Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy: regarding the “De aeternitate mundi” question Ortodoxia y heterodoxia: en torno de la cuestión “De aeternitate mundi” info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=patris&d=8301_oai
