International Congress:
Peter of Auvergne.
University Master of the 13th Century
This was the first conference entirely devoted to Peter of Auvergne, one of the greatest masters of the last quarter of the 13th Century in the Paris University. The conference was intended to provide studies on the broad range of subjects treated by Peter, from logic, metaphysics, natural philosophy, politics and ethics, to theology.
In addition, some papers dealt with his life and career, against the background of the condemnation of 1277, as well as his doctrinal relationships with other contemporaneous authors, such as Thomas Aquinas, Albert the Great, Giles of Rome and Henry of Ghent.
The proceedings will be published by the end of 2009. If you wish, you can consult the report of the conference (in Italian).
