The Life and Work of Eriugena or John the Scot with Especial Respect to Periphyseon 1

A Historical and Philosophical Introduction

Summary/Abstract: In this paper the author offers a historical introduction into what is called the Carolingian Renaissance and, especially, into the life and oeuvre of the greatest theologian and philosopher of the time, John the Scot, also called Eriugena. The paper enumerates and briefly characterizes every single known work of this epoch-making Irish scholar, and identifies the dubia and spuria with the help of the most recent literature. In the central part, the content of Book 1 of the Periphyseon, John’s main work, is outlined in detail. This is followed by a short philosophical evaluation of the metaphysical character of Eriugena’s teaching, in which the difficulties of interpretation are pointed out. A short presentation is given of John’s sources, and the paper closes with a review of both translation-related terminological problems and philological instruments of research.
