All’interno del pensiero medievale, il concetto di “natura” ha carattere polisemico e il rapporto uomo-natura è strutturato secondo una pluralità di cosmologie che pongono l’uomo fra gli enti naturali in maniera complessa, diversificata. Le interpretazioni contemporanee sul tema si concentrano attorno alcuni problemi-chiave: il bisogno di affrontare la complessità del termine “creazione”; l’interpretazione della metafora del “Liber Mundi” come strumento epistemologico per la comprensione degli enti naturali all’interno di palinsesti simbolico-religiosi, sviluppatisi in diverse esperienze medioevali; la necessità di ripensare il rapporto natura-Grazia, cha ha segnato la relazione fra esseri umani e mondo naturale nel Medioevo latino. La ricerca esplora il rapporto uomo-natura nel pensiero di Eckhart con particolare riferimento al “Liber parabolarum Genesis”, momento conclusivo di un progetto “scientifico” attorno alle “res naturales” in cui Eckhart, dopo aver esposto un’esegesi al libro della Genesi, propone una nuova idea di natura e un ripensamento radicale/rifiuto del rapporto natura-Grazia.

Abstract
Within the medieval thought, the concept of ‘nature’ has a polysemic character/pattern and the relationship humankind-natural world is structured on cosmologies which locate human beings among natural entities in complex/diversified ways. Contemporary studies on the topic pay attention to some key-issues: the need to face the complexity of the term ‘creation’; the analysis of the ‘Liber Mundi’ metaphor as epistemological tool for the comprehension of natural entities within symbolic-religious frameworks (as they took place in different medieval experiences); the need to rethink the conceptual/theological node nature-Grace, which has determined the relationship human beings-natural world in Latin Middle Ages. The research explores the relationship humankind-natural world in the Eckhart’s thought with a specific reference on the ‘Liber parabolarum Genesis’ (Second Commentary), final step of a ‘scientific project’ around the ‘res naturales’ where Eckhart, once completed his exegesis of the book of Genesis (First Commentary), proposed a new idea of nature and a radical rethinking/refusal of the relationship nature-Grace.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
