The philosophical and theological thought in Bonaventure of Bagnoregio

In the introduction to Bonaventura's section, curators wanted to highlight the 8th centenary of his birth as a chance for further philosophical and theological bonaventurian studies, with the main focus on last years' research, especially the one brought out by Università Cattolica. Contents of the contributions of the fifteen scholars who answered the call for paper, were distributed in three areas: the majority focused on the study of Commentary on Sentences, selecting and identifying topics and authors appearing in the book and showing Bonaventura's research methodology. The essays on the Commentary are followed by some metaphysical-gnoseological contributions, which revolve around the notion of being and its chance to be known by the human kind. On the other hand, ethical matters are included within moral bonaventurian theology, together with important references to philosophical and anthropological topics.
