Giles of Rome’s Questiones metaphisicales present a substantial discussion of the so-called quaestio de subiecto metaphysicae. This paper aims at reconstructing some relevant aspects of this discussion in an attempt to emphasize the originality of Giles’ thought. Often considered as an epigone of Thomas Aquinas, Giles of Rome is instead a very competent and original author: on the one hand, he masterfully handles Aristotle’s Metaphysics and its main interpretations; on the other hand, he provides original solutions about some aporetic aspects of the Aristotelian thought. From a theoretical point of view, Egidio elaborates an overall interpretation of metaphysics capable of ensuring both its thematic unity and the ontological difference existing between its objects.

Abstract
Giles of Rome’s Questiones metaphisicales present a substantial discussion of the so-called quaestio de subiecto metaphysicae. This paper aims at reconstructing some relevant aspects of this discussion in an attempt to emphasize the originality of Giles’ thought. Often considered as an epigone of Thomas Aquinas, Giles of Rome is instead a very competent and original author: on the one hand, he masterfully handles Aristotle’s Metaphysics and its main interpretations; on the other hand, he provides original solutions about some aporetic aspects of the Aristotelian thought. From a theoretical point of view, Egidio elaborates an overall interpretation of metaphysics capable of ensuring both its thematic unity and the ontological difference existing between its objects.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
