La Philosophie de Saint Bonaventure
Book •
La Philosophie de Saint Bonaventure is Etienne Gilson's scholarly examination of Bonaventure's thought, situating the Franciscan theologian within the medieval philosophical context and highlighting his Augustinian-Platonic tendencies.
Gilson argues that Bonaventure represents a distinct Christian philosophical approach that differs from Thomistic Aristotelianism.
The book contributed to debates about the nature of 'Christian philosophy' and sparked controversy among Thomist scholars like Pierre Mandonet.
Gilson's work shaped 20th-century understandings of Franciscan intellectual traditions and their relation to broader medieval thought.
It remains influential in studies of Bonaventure and medieval theology.
