Robert Kilwardby (Robertus Kilwardby , Robertus Cantuariensis, Robertus Ridverbius, Robertus Anglicus, Robertus de Aucumpno, Robertus Parisiensis) was a medieval philosopher and theologian.

Life

There are no details of his early life, although he is known to have studied at Paris. It is possible that he studied with Richard Fishacre at Oxford in the early 1240s, as some of their ideas are similar. He taught in the arts faculty of the University of Paris in the late 1240s but left around 1250 to study theology. As a member of the arts faculty in the 1240s Kilwardby would not have been allowed to teach theology or touch on theological issues. He had a reputation as an able commentator on Aristotle during this period, at at time when Aristotle was increasingly studied and taught in the Latin West.

He later came to be regarded as a theologian and his reputation, combined with his appointment in 1273 as Archbishop of Canterbury, made him powerful in the church. He had a reputation for conscientiousness in his clerical duties (not always a given in the Middle Ages) and for piety. He died at the papal court in Viterbo, Italy, on September 11, 1279.

Work

Among Kilwardby’s most important works are De ortu scientiarum (1250); his Sentences-commentary (1252), and his Letter to Peter Conflans (1277). De ortu scientiarum is a defence of Christian Platonism. Like Bonaventure, Kilwardby argued that the inner reality of the physical world was music but unlike Bonaventure he claimed Aristotle as an authorities for his opinions. He derived the idea of music as a mathematical science from Aristotle’s position in the Posterior Analytics that music is a subordinate science to arithmetic, and so one of the scientiae mediae, lying between mathematics and physics.

Influence

Kilwardby is now best known for his intervention in the academic affairs of the University of Oxford in 1277, the Oxford condemnations.
