Abstract

Tradition is a central concern for a wide range of academic disciplines interested in problems of transmitting culture across generations. Yet, the concept itself has received remarkably little analysis. A substantial literature has grown up around the notion of 'invented tradition,' but no clear concept of tradition is to be found in these writings; since the very notion of 'invented tradition' presupposes a prior concept of tradition and is empty without one, this debunking usage has done as much to obscure the idea as to clarify it. In the absence of a shared concept, the various disciplines have created their own vocabularies to address the subject. Useful as they are, these specialized vocabularies (of which the best known include hybridity, canonicity, diaspora, paradigm, and contact zones) separate the disciplines and therefore necessarily create only a collection of parochial and disjointed approaches.Until now, there has been no concerted attempt to put the various disciplines in conversation with one another around the problem of tradition. Combining discussions of the idea of tradition by major scholars from a variety of disciplines with synoptic, synthesizing essays, Questions of Tradition will initiate a renewal of interest in this vital subject.

Abstract

The volume studies how philosophical traditions were understood and discussed in the middle ages and how they were used in formulating new ones. In addition, it analyzes the extent to which historians have reconstructed the subject. Bringing together seventeen case studies ranging from Hugues de Saint-Victor to Pietro Pomponazzi, the volume presents an all-encompassing perspective on the theme of "tradition." Le volume etudie comment les medievaux ont compris et discute les traditions philosophiques et, ce faisant, de quelle maniere ont-ils participe à en formuler de nouvelles. Il analyse egalement dans quelle mesure les historiens ont-ils reconstitue ce sujet. Reunissant dix-sept etudes de cas allant de Hugues de Saint-Victor à Pietro Pomponazzi, le volume presente des perspectives nouvelles sur les diverses faces du theme de la tradition. Certaines contributions examinent un probleme ou un texte choisis comme une bonne illustration d'une epoque, d'un courant doctrinal ou d'une ecole. Dans l'ensemble, on apporte une perspective englobante de la "tradition" : un auteur medieval discute une tradition tant antique (le peripatetisme) que contemporaine (le thomisme). D'autres contributions mettent en question des opinions historiographiques communement acceptees, tels que la presence du scepticisme ou du materialisme au Moyen Age. Dans l'ensemble, on apporte une perspective englobante de la "tradition."
