Abstract

The SLE is today often regarded as a theological work, one said to involve in fundamental ways various Christian doctrines, e.g., divine particular providence or personal immortality. Before examining the presence of such doctrines, as well as their so-called Christian character, it is useful to consider the feasibility of regarding the SLE as a philosophical document. To this end, the present chapter studies some aspects of the situation of philosophy in Paris between 1215 and 1283. On the basis of this examination, it is suggested that there are no grounds for supposing on the part of Aquinas some subjective or doctrinal obstacle that would have prevented him from composing a philosophical interpretation of the Ethics.
