摘要

列奥纳多·达·芬奇亲笔签名的格言之一写道,亚里士多德和亚历山大是彼此的老师。根据列奥纳多的阅读资料来解释这句话,这些资料促使他写下了这句话,并为他提供了所需的材料。我认为,这句格言反对亚里士多德,认为他是一个自吹自擂、无所不知的人,在历史上过分地占据了所有的知识。列奥纳多笔下的亚里士多德,仿佛是邪恶的征服者亚历山大教他在学术上像马其顿国王在政治和对外事务上那样行事。这一批判的核心可以追溯到古代传统的反亚里士多德观点,与15世纪和16世纪的反亚里士多德主义相一致,并与列奥纳多自己的观点相一致,即聪明人(包括他自己)能够在发现真理的方向上比亚里士多德走得更远。我确定了列奥纳多的来源,我认为弗朗西斯·培根反复说亚里士多德的灵魂被亚历山大的暴虐性格所感染的痛苦言论很可能是基于列奥纳多的格言。

Leonardo da Vinci’s Aphorism on the Aristotle-Alexander Legend: Sources, Meaning, And Its Reception by Francis Bacon
One of Leonardo da Vinci’s autographed aphorisms states that Aristotle and Alexander were each other’s teachers. Interpreting it in light of those of Leonardo’s readings which instigated him to write it down along with providing him the material he needed to do so, I argue that the aphorism turns against Aristotle as an emblematically boastful, know-it-all man involved in undue occupation of all knowledge throughout history. Leonardo presents Aristotle as if he had been taught by the pernicious conqueror Alexander to act in scholarship in the way the Macedonian king had acted in politics and external affairs. The core of this critique goes back to a traditional anti-Aristotelian point in Antiquity, complies with the 15th- and 16th-century anti-Aristotelianism and goes hand-in-hand with Leonardo’s own view that intelligent men (including himself) are capable of going much further than Aristotle in the direction of discovering the truth. I identify Leonardo’s sources and I argue that Francis Bacon’s repeated bitter remark that the soul of Aristotle was infected by Alexander’s tyrannic character was quite probably based on Leonardo’s aphorism.

期刊介绍: Studia Neoaristotelica is a peer-reviewed, scholarly journal devoted to the promotion of Aristotelian philosophy broadly conceived, drawing on the rich legacy of the scholastic tradition and contemporary analytical metaphysics. Special emphasis is placed on the most advanced forms of scholastic thought that emerged during the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Our vision is to work toward a philosophical synthesis of analytic and scholastic methods and ideas, providing a contribution to Christian philosophy as well as wider secular thought. The journal is published by Editiones Scholasticae and the University of South Bohemia Faculty of Theology.
