質料に宿る量と力 : フランシス・ベイコンにおける諸学の統一性( <小特集>新しいベイコン像を求めて-神学,萬話解釈,物質理論-)

抄録

Francis Bacon was a major early modern critic of Aristotelianism. In addressing its matter theory, he mainly attacked the concept of prime matter, which, for many Aristotelians, was deprived of any attribute. He denied this doctrine on the basis of the inseparability of matter from its quantity and power. By examining theological and natural philosophical dimensions of this idea, this paper reveals the close interconnection among various fields of knowledge in Bacon's thought.
