| Title | The Role of Ecclesiastical and Academic Authorities in the Thirteenth-century Academic Condemnations |
| Summary | The present thesis aims to reveal the importance of the thirteenth-century academic condemnations at the University of Paris. Depending on canon law it will demonstrate the role played by ecclesiastical and academic authorities in formulating and publishing condemnations. It will underscore the hostile relationship between the faculty of Theology and the faculty of Arts in the light of academic condemnations. While the philosophical and theological side of the condemnations has been researched in detail by several scholars, procedural and political aspects are frequently left aside. The main focus of the thesis is to show that the academic condemnations were influential not only on the philosophical and theological thoughts of the period but also on the formation of the institution itself. Academic condemnations have two main features: they were directed against erroneous and heretical ideas and were published at the University. Three such cases occurred in the thirteenth century: in 1241-1244, 1270 and 1277. These condemnations did not target individuals but a particular group, the masters and students in the Faculty of Arts. After the spread of philosophical-scientific literature, the faculty evidently changed its direction toward philosophy, which led to the hostile attitude of the masters in Theology. The confrontation between the two faculties was revealed in the thirteenth-century academic condemnations. |
