- Resum
- Robert Grosseteste (c. 1168–1253) was an outstanding figure in thirteenth-century intellectual life. He developed an original cosmological theory, the so-called metaphysics of light, based on light as the first common form of all bodies and elaborated a scientific method based on the importance of geometry and experience in the explanation of natural phenomena, which he considered as effects of the action of luminous rays. He introduced the Aristotelian natural philosophy to the western Latin world, producing the first commentaries on Aristotle's Physics and Posterior Analytics and translations of De caelo and Nicomachean Ethics. As a theologian, Grosseteste enriched the Augustinian tradition with the doctrines of the Greek Fathers, mainly Pseudo-Dionysius, whose writings he translated and commented. His originality also emerges in his writings on free will, time, and God's foreknowledge. As bishop of Lincoln, he focused on removing ecclesiastical abuses and promoting the pastoral care, acting as a prominent leader in English ecclesiastical and political life. His intellectual heritage influenced both scientific developments and political movements, mainly in fourteenth-century England.
