Petrić's Analysis of the Principles of Natural Things

Mihaela Girardi-Karšulin ; Institut za filozofiju, Zagreb, Hrvatska

Sažetak

The paper expounds and discusses the first chapter of the fourth volume of Frane Petrić's Discussionum peripateticarnm. The chapter is entitled »De Principiis rerum Naturalium«. It is here that Petrić criticized Aristotle's principles of physics, Le., natural philosophy. The discussion is based on the critique of the first contrary principles, the critique of the principle of form and privation (privatio, steresis) and their subject (hypokeimenon). In his critique, Petrić steered away from the idea of peripatetic physics. He did not follow Aristotle's understanding of the contrary principles, themselves the conditions for making motion intelligible. Petrić a priori understood motion as something that may be rationally grasped and looked for the causes (not principles) through the motion of a newly created being. At the same time, there was a change in the notion of subject. Petrić's critique pointed at the interest in empirical research, although it never reached the notion of modern science.
