| Research Abstract |
After having analyzed the notion of "philosophy" which was found in the of "intellectus" of Siger of Brabant, I reflected on the philosophy of Boethius of Dacia, contemporary collegue of Siger at the Facutly of Arts in Paris. Major focus of this research was, among others, on what Boethius had conceived about the relation between the Aristotelian natural "philosophy" and the christian faith in his works titled De summo bono and De aeternitate mundi. The research arrived at the following conclusions.
1. "Philosophy" is regarded as a human activity of pure natural reason.
2. The christian faith is, on the other hand, "relied on miracles" and is above the sphere of nature.
3. The "philosophy" and the faith are conceived therefore to be "non-contradictory", which would show that the label "double truth theory" affixed to Boethius doesn't express what he would really mean.
4. But we can find why his thought provocated the criticism of the christian church in that his "philosophy" was completely independent of the faith; it was against the christian presupposion that even the philosophy couldn't be separate from the devine doctrine which must cover every aspects of human conditions.
These coclusions, while depending precisely on original texts, remain imperfect from the viewpoint of our research objective. We need to continue to analyze how changed the concept of "philosophy" during 13th and 14th centuries.
