It is commonly believed that this work, which systematized the theory contained in Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics, was a simple compendium intended for exclusive use at the Racovian Academy, an educational institution that welcomed students of diverse religious backgrounds. However, a careful reading of the treatise shows that behind a veil of Aristotelian thought, controversial elements of the Socinian faith were smuggled into the text. These were primarily the idea of Pelagianism and the belief in the human nature of Christ. In the present article, a careful analysis accompanied by several lines of evidence support the idea that Ethica Aristotelica also represents an instrument for promoting the Socinian faith, initially among the students of the Academy, and then, with the print of the first edition in the Netherlands in 1650, among other European confessions. Cet article s’intéresse à l’Ethica Aristotelica, un traité d’éthique socinien rédigé par Johann Crell vers 1622 à Raków, en Pologne. Il est communément admis que cet ouvrage, qui systématisait le contenu théorique de l’Éthique à Nicomaque d’Aristote, était une simple compilation destinée à l’usage exclusif de l’Académie racovienne, un établissement d’enseignement qui accueillait des étudiants de diverses confessions religieuses. Cependant, un examen attentif du traité révèle que des éléments controversés de la foi socinienne ont été introduits dans le texte sous le voile de la pensée aristotélicienne, soit principalement l’idée de pélagianisme et la croyance en la nature humaine du Christ. Cet article propose une analyse minutieuse du texte accompagnée de plusieurs éléments de preuve soutenant l’idée que l’Ethica Aristotelica représente également un instrument de promotion de la foi socinienne, d’abord au sein des étudiants de l’Académie, puis, avec l’impression de la première édition aux Pays-Bas en 1650, au sein d’autres communautés religieuses d’Europe. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Renaissance & Reformation / Renaissance et Réforme is the property of Iter Canada and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
