Four "faults" of Aristotle and their scholastic "redemption"
The article deals with the doctrine of the causes and principles of Aristotle, its semantic and etymological characteristics in the Ancient Greek philosophical tradition. The doctrine of «aitia» (causes) and «entelechy» (their perfect results) was revised in late Latin scholasticism in various versions - Thomism, Scotism, Ockhamism. The central concept that revision was the universal creative act (actus) of divine cause, its attributes and modes. In late scholasticism Ockham opened a «new way» (via nuova) for studying the causality in the world of experimental knowledge and human intelligence. According to the authors of the article, one of the results of the interpretation of Aristotle in Latin scholasticism was that it made modern European experimental science possible.
