| "THE POWER OF IMAGINATION" BETWEEN THE 14TH AND 16TH CENTURIES THE THEME OF THE "POWER OF IMAGINATION" AND ITS WONDROUS EFFECTS HAS A LONG DEVELOPMENT: THE EARLIEST SOURCES ARE NEOPLATONIC, BUT THE MOST CONSCIOUS AND COMPREHENSIVE ELABORATION OF THIS "NATURALISTIC" EXPLANATION OF WONDERS AND MAGIC COMES FROM AL-KINDI AND AVICENNA. THE TOPIC WOULD LATER FLOURISH AMONG THE LATINS, ESPECIALLY IN THE 14TH CENTURY, WHEN, ALONGSIDE THE THEORIES INSPIRED BY AVICENNISM, THE FIRST SKEPTICAL ANALYSES EMERGED, WHICH DOWNPLAYED THE PHENOMENON. THE LECTURES WILL PROVIDE A PERIODIZATION OF THIS DEBATE AND SOME WORKING HYPOTHESES ON ITS INTERNAL EVOLUTION, FROM DE CAUSIS MIRABILIUM BY NICOLAS ORESME (CIRCA 1370) TO DE VIRIBUS IMAGINATIONIS BY THOMAS FEYENS (1608), THE LATTER BEING A TEXT STILL CONSIDERED AUTHORITATIVE BY MANY PHILOSOPHERS OF MODERNITY. |
