Abstract

The Aristotelianism of the period 1450-1650 presents a picture which differs radically from the university philosophy of the Middle Ages. The revolt against Scholasticism which took place during this period was basically part of a struggle between the old established clerical class and new lay attitudes to philosophy. Scholastic Aristotelianism had offered a hierarchically unified world-view, but by the 16th century this unity had broken down, so that we must speak in this period not of one, but of several Aristotelianisms.
