छह दिनों पर संवाद (Collationes in Hexaemeron)

परिचय

Twenty-three conferences delivered in Paris between Easter and Pentecost 1273 and broken off when Bonaventure was made a cardinal; they survive in notes taken by his listeners. Taking the six days of creation as a framework, they were meant to lay out the stages of illumination. The early conferences attack the arts masters who followed Aristotle and Averroes, naming three errors – the eternity of the world, the necessity of fate and one intellect for all humans – and tracing them to Aristotle’s rejection of Plato’s Ideas. The text belongs to the controversy over radical Aristotelianism that ended in the Paris condemnations of 1277, and it contains Bonaventure’s late theology of history.
