Abstract

This article investigates the philosophy of Siger of Brabant and Boethius of Dacia and their engagement with Thomas Aquinas to assess Leo Strauss’s philosophy. It discusses the relevance of the Latin Averroists for Strauss and the centrality of the eternity of the world to his philosophy. By contrasting the teachings of Siger and Boethius with the main Averroistic theses (the eternity of the world and the unity of the intellect) and assessing Thomas’s contributions to this debate, this article demonstrates the inadequacy of Strauss’s method of interpretation to comprehend the relationship between faith and reason for Christian medieval philosophy.
