Agostino Nifo: lineamenti del suo profilo intellettuale

Agostino Nifo is one of the few thinkers who commented on all of Aristotle’s logical works and one of the philosophers who reinterpreted the greatest number of the Stagirite’s texts. He left an important legacy of his speculation in Renaissance thought as a relevant exponent of Aristotelianism, which he eclectically interpreted according to the principles of Averroism, Thomism, Sigerianism and Neoplatonism. In his 56 works, he made an important contribution to 16th-century philosophy in the fields of logic, methodology, the doctrine of knowledge, the theory of the immortality of the soul, metaphysics, astrology, meteorology, natural philosophy, medicine and also the philosophy of the court, morality and politics, debating with some of the greatest thinkers of his time such as Pietro Pomponazzi, Giovanni Pico della Mirandola and Niccolò Machiavelli.
