The Franciscan Scotistic tradition of the University of Padua is one of the most important theoretical responses to the merely laical interpretation of Aristotle’s thought which, during the Renaissance, also represents scientific research in its widest sense. The doctrine of the Franciscan thinker John Duns Scotus has one of its most important centres precisely in Padua, the site chosen by Antonio of Padua, a pupil of Francesco of Assisi. The Franciscan Scotistic thinker Antonio Trombetta, professor on the chair of Metaphysics at the University of Padua between the 15th and 16th centuries, proposes, in fact, a scientific research of causes that does not only take into account the principles of the movement but that is able to reach the very origin of being, opening the way to the rational justification of creation.

Abstract
The Franciscan Scotistic tradition of the University of Padua is one of the most important theoretical responses to the merely laical interpretation of Aristotle’s thought which, during the Renaissance, also represents scientific research in its widest sense. The doctrine of the Franciscan thinker John Duns Scotus has one of its most important centres precisely in Padua, the site chosen by Antonio of Padua, a pupil of Francesco of Assisi. The Franciscan Scotistic thinker Antonio Trombetta, professor on the chair of Metaphysics at the University of Padua between the 15th and 16th centuries, proposes, in fact, a scientific research of causes that does not only take into account the principles of the movement but that is able to reach the very origin of being, opening the way to the rational justification of creation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
