Peter of Auvergne (+1304) is one of the most productive and most influential commentators of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Paris, At the end of the 13th century Peter actually moved to the upper theological faculty, where he argued a number of quodlibeta. This volume of conference proceedings represents the first examination of the work of Peter of Auvergne as a whole. In addition, biographical information has been interpreted in new ways. Many of the contributions present research on aspects of his commentaries on the logical, natural philosophical, metaphysical, ethical, and political works of Aristotle, as well as aspects of his theological works. A comparison with contemporaneous authors demonstrates that Peter presents a thoroughly distinctive line of thought and that previous classifications must be differentiated or even discarded. In addition, Peter develops an astounding history of reception with some of his works that continued into early modernity.

This volume is the first complete critical edition of Peter of Auvergne?s 'Questiones super I-VII libros Politicorum'. The 'Questiones' was produced at the Faculty of Arts of Paris sometime between late 1291 and 1296 and is the earliest surviving commentary in question form on Aristotle?s 'Politics'. As the introduction explains, the 'Questiones' was philosophically innovative and became the most influential question-commentary on the 'Politics' in the Middle Ages. The volume also includes a critical edition of an earlier oral report (reportatio) of Peter?s teaching on Books I-II and part of III which became the basis for those sections of the 'Questiones'.0This volume is of interest to scholars of medieval philosophy and the history of political thought and is a reference point for future research on the medieval reception of Aristotle?s 'Politics' and medieval Aristotelian practical philosophy more broadly.
