| Summary: | The acquaintance of Origen with Aristotle and Peripatetic tradition is still unexplored in scholarship due to both the lack of documentation concerned with the Peripatetic school in the early imperial period and to the equivocal and complex approach of the early Christians to the classical philosophy. The chief aim of this study is to contribute to the understanding of Origen’s knowledge of Aristotelian thought by investigating his explicit references to Aristotelian texts and doctrines. In this respect, the analysis will focus on Origen’s references to the biography of Aristotle, to the doctrines explicitly attributed to Aristotle and the Peripateticians, finally to some specific Peripateticians. |
