Abstract


JOHN OF GLOGOVIA ON THE NATURE OF KNOWLEDGE

The treatises on methodology and metaphysics by John of Glogovia involve a series of problems concerning the nature of scientific knowledge. Inasmuch as John deals with the Aristotelian model of knowledge, which assumes that scientific knowledge has to be based on universal and necessary generalizations, some empirical influences of the 14th century nominalists can be seen in John’s works. Above all, his methodological considerations concentrate on the object of scientific knowledge. He discusses Aristotle and works out his own view, according to which the material, individual and contingent being can become the object of scientific knowledge.


Keywords: JOHN OF GLOGOVIA, CRACOW SCHOLASTICS, THEORY OF KNOWLEDGE, OBJECT OF KNOWLEDGE, HISTORY OF MEDIEVAL PHILOSOPHY
