Abstract
The Jesuit commentaries are only quoted twice in this chapter, and only in order to be refuted. Luis Antonio Verney view has to be seen within its 18th century context. The question of novelty or traditionality of these commentaries has therefore to be considered dispassionately by focusing on punctual evidence. This is the reason why the chapter chose to address this difficulty by analysing the influence of the new geographical discoveries on the Aristotelian imago mundi they continued to defend. The socratic consciousness of their lack of knowledge allowed the Jesuits to become masters in the advancement of learning. Once this socratic awareness lost, the masters erected a dogmatic Aristotle, leading to the downfall of Aristotelian and scholastic philosophy. Keywords:Aristotelian; Aristotle; Geographical Discoveries; Jesuit; Luis Antonio Verney; socratic
