Lorenzo Valla o Boethiově Filosofii utěšitelce. Humanistická kritika filosofické teologie

Tomáš Nejeschleba

Lorenzo Valla’s dialogue On Free Will is the first explicit critique of Boëthius’ Consolation of Philosophy, more precisely of it’s the fifth book which deals with the issue of the harmony between God’s prescience and human free decision. Valla refuses Boëthius’ philosophical solution as too dependent on pagan philosophy
and instead of rationalistic argument proposes rhetoric argument. The article analyzes principles and strategies of Valla’s humanistic approach that aims to show the absurdity of the issue if it is solved by means of philosophical tools.
