Abstract

English summary: Henry of Ghents Summa consists of a vast epistemological attempt to establish the possibility, nature, and means of human knowledge as part of the foundation of theology as a science. In this first French translation of the prologue and initial three questions, Henry of Ghent discusses the problem of the possibility of human knowledge in the face of skepticism, mobilizing the theories of Aristotle and Augustin in an original synthesis and presenting his own vision of the history of philosophy from its pre-Socratic origins to the rise of Christian theology. These pages offer an essential document in the history of medieval Augustin philosophy, as well as the history of the rediscovery of ancient skepticism. French description: La Somme des questions ordinaires d'Henri de Gand (v. 1220-1293) s'ouvre sur un vaste traite d'epistemologie (trente-neuf questions) visant a etablir la possibilite, la nature et les modalites du savoir humain dans la perspective de la fondation de la theologie comme science. Dans le prologue et les trois questions initiales, dont ce volume offre la premiere traduction francaise, Henri de Gand discute longuement du probleme de la possibilite de la connaissance humaine face a l'ecueil du scepticisme; il mobilise les theories de la connaissance d'Aristote et d'Augustin, pour en proposer une synthese originale; il y presente enfin sa vision de l'histoire de la philosophie depuis son origine presocratique jusqu'a l'avenement de la theologie chretienne. Attaquees par Duns Scot, qui accusera le maitre gantois d'avoir falsifie Augustin pour ressusciter la doctrine des Academiciens, ces pages nous delivrent un document majeur autant pour l'histoire de l'augustinisme medieval que pour l'histoire de la redecouverte du scepticisme antique.
