Estoicismo 'à la mode': la ética de Séneca en la 'Moralis philosophia' de Roger Bacon
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Mientras la investigación reciente resalta el uso que los primeros franciscanos hicieron de fuentes griegas y greco-árabes en su ética, el recurso de Roger Bacon a la ética estoica a través de Séneca en su Moralis philosophia, el último libro de su Opus maius, no ha recibido el reconocimiento que merece. La referencia de Bacon a los diálogos de Séneca privilegia el De ira y las obras que él asocia con ésta. Situando la ética de Bacon en el contexto de las tradiciones clásicas y cristianas sobre la ira, este artículo argumenta que el autor utiliza a Séneca para socavar los argumentos a favor de la ira justa en ambas tradiciones, concretamente aquellos validados por su contemporáneo franciscano Juan de La Rochelle. La alternativa de Bacon aborda preocupaciones éticas y políticas que comparte con su dedicatario, el papa Clemente IV, y con sus compañeros franciscanos comprometidos con la predicación popular y el apostolado a no cristianos. Como tal, la ética estoica à la mode de Bacon necesita un reconocimiento más evidente en la reinterpretación en curso del pensamiento franciscano del siglo XIII.
