A misoginia de Aristóteles na Idade Média: representações em Santo Isidoro de Sevilha, Santo Anselmo e São Tomás de Aquino

Abstract

Within the framework of the theoretical and methodological assumptions outlined for the recent field of studies of medieval historiography, among the possibilities of investigation this discipline, one can find the question of the temporalities with which the different moments of the medieval context dialogues. Based on this reflection, this paper examines the consistent dissemination throughout the history of medieval genres of one of the most precious legacies of ancient science in the thinking of the Middle Ages: Aristotelianism. The anatomicist and physiologist auctoritas of this stream of though appears in seminal works of the medieval mentality represented by Saint Isidoro de Sevilla's Etymologiae, Saint Anselmo’s Monologium and Saint Thomas Aquinas’ Summa Theologiae, constituting the essence of medieval misogynist androcentrism of the Middle Ages.
