The Natural Philosophy Views of Hermann the Dalmatian

Žarko Dadić ; Zavod za povijest i filozofiju znanosti HAZU, Zagreb, Hrvatska

Sažetak

The work describes the organization of Hermann's natural philosophy, with particular emphasis on the role of his five essences: cause, motion, place, time, and habitudo. The contrast between the heavenly and the earthly realms is emphasized, as well as the role of the middle part of the world, the so-called medium, in the natural processes of the earthly world. In connection with that, the mechanisms of the origin and the transformation of certain parts of the earthly world are described within the context of Hermann's natural philosophy views. Special attention is paid to the role of Aristotelism in Hermann's natural philosophy and to the elements of Aristotle's and Plato's philosophy in Hermann's system of natural philosophy. Hermann's way of connecting Aristotelian and Platonic notions in his natural philosophy is expounded. Finally, it is demonstrated how astrology fits into Hermann's system of natural philosophy.
