Over de Auteur

A conservative French Franciscan, Bonaventure was an active propagandist in the campaign against radical Aristotelianism. He regarded even Thomas Aquinas as too radical and was the first of a series of Franciscans to oppose the new Aristotelian with an older, Avicennan-Augustinian, view. He has toon meer been a favorite of his order, in part because of his early conservatism, which, in the period following the Reformation, provided the Franciscans with a master free from the modernist taint of the fourteenth century. Yet he is also a talented allegorist and a perceptive spiritual and mystical thinker. His thought is rooted in the Neoplatonic mystical tradition of the twelfth century, but it has been updated under the influence of thirteenth-century Aristotelianism, despite Bonaventure's opposition to the radical side of that movement.

A deceitful lackey of the catholic church, a glorified life-hater, a misanthrope in the guise of a saint. Francis embodies all of these personalities at the same time, and his sheer disdain for the world permeates the whole book from the first page of the volume down to the last line, while Bonaventure tries to frame his life as a prime example of ideal path to follow as a Christian. The schizophrenic bouts which the poor Francis is victim of are a part of his daily routine, and these frequent visions of YAWEH are the motivating force that feed his loathsome disposition and enkindle the fire of insanity within his young mind. Much like the majority of the clergy in the middle ages, his words carry as much value and significance as a North Korean press release, but this time Bonaventure goes out of his way to idolize and shower with compliments Francis almost as Yeshua Ben Yosef, the founder of judeo-christianity, contributing to the overall tediousness of the book.… (meer)
