The paper examines the reception of a Anaxagoras in Thomas of York's Sapientiale. The information about Anaxagoras provided in this treatise, which was taken from different sources, is not limited to doxographical information alone. Rather, Thomas of York links the thought of Anaxagoras to different philosophical schools, including the Stoics, thus testifying to his understanding of the history of philosophy. Unlike for example Albert the Great, Thomas of York perceives the opposition between Stoicism and Aristotelianism to be non-fundamental, which, in turn determines his charachterization of Anaxagoras. Thomas of York's concordistic position has been proposed in the paper as linked to Oxford and opposed to the cultural climate in Paris and Cologne.

Abstract
The paper examines the reception of a Anaxagoras in Thomas of York's Sapientiale. The information about Anaxagoras provided in this treatise, which was taken from different sources, is not limited to doxographical information alone. Rather, Thomas of York links the thought of Anaxagoras to different philosophical schools, including the Stoics, thus testifying to his understanding of the history of philosophy. Unlike for example Albert the Great, Thomas of York perceives the opposition between Stoicism and Aristotelianism to be non-fundamental, which, in turn determines his charachterization of Anaxagoras. Thomas of York's concordistic position has been proposed in the paper as linked to Oxford and opposed to the cultural climate in Paris and Cologne.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
