Eriugena: 
The Medieval Irish Genius Between Augustine and Aquinas

Willemien Otten

University of Chicago

Tuesday, February 8, 7:00pm
Swift Hall, Common Room
1025 E. 58th St.

Formerly the face of the Irish five pound note, the forgotten court theologian to Charlemagne, Johannes Scottus Eriugena (810-877AD), stands as the outstanding systematic thinker between Augustine and Aquinas. This lecture will consider his false condemnation for pantheism in 1225, his use of Greek philosophy and the Church Fathers, and the contemporary reappraisal of his thought.
