Abstract

The question about the meaning of philosophy cannot be reducen to a recognition of the charanter of «Philosophy» in Adelard of Bath’s treatise On the same and the different, i.e., not to be reduced to a scholar compilation on the trívium and the quadrivium. Even when the work adopts the form of a «protrepticon», its exposition on the «arts» points further tan what we can take as an elementary knowledge, not just in the skills a «master» should got at hand, but also in the subject matters taken regularly in the so called «french schools». Adelard’s conception of philosophy points to a renewal wich, in a sense, is going to be an example of a new attitude on the knowledge that the history of intellect has ascribe to the stream of changes attributed to the «Renaissance of the 12th Century».
