Abstract

The paper expounds Skalić's treatise Dialectica contempiativa ad consequendos scientiarum habitus. perquam utilis ac necessari.a published in Basel in 1559. Skalić's contemplative dialectics is not logic; it is a certain alternative to peripatetic metaphysics. It is an attempt at a synthesis of Aristotelian metaphysics and Neoplatonic inference of the system of beings that adapts to the factual functioning of knowledge. The larger part of the text is devoted to the analysis of the imaginative form, the ability to visualize the momentarily not present sense object. For Skalić, the imaginative form is the foundation of the scientific, as well as any other, approach to reality. In Skalić's work, imagination has the role of object constitution, for it is in imagination that an object becomes ambiguous, both real and unreal. A scientific expoundation of this possible, real and unreal, imagination-presented object shows formal differences in comparison with both the Aristotelian and the Platonic concepts of science.
