Estimative Power as a Social Sense
2020
The estimative power has been widely discussed in modern scholarly literature. This chapter complements the existing picture by analysing medieval Latin views concerning its role as the explanans of the social behaviour of humans and other animals. Although medieval authors rarely focus on this function, the chapter shows that the estimative power plays an important explanatory role both in philosophical psychology and political philosophy. peerReviewed

Human Sociability in Antonio Montecatini's (1537–99) Commentary on Aristotle's Politics
2021
The present article delves into the history of political philosophy by discussing human sociability in Antonio Montecatini's (1537–99) commentary on Aristotle's Politics. The focus is on a philosophical analysis of three interrelated ideas that Montecatini discusses: (1) Aristotle's dictum that human beings are political animals by nature; (2) naturalness of the household; and (3) the nature and origin of political communities. Montecatini's views are briefly related to those of John Case (ca. 1546–1600), and they are also contextualized within the late medieval commentary tradition on the Politics, but the main aim is to clarify Montecatini's philosophical position and examine the ways in …
Edvard Grönblad : unohdettu keskiajan tutkija Jyväskylästä
2019
Jyväskylän vanhalla hautausmaalla on takorautainen risti, jossa lukee ”Här hvilar doktor Edvard Grönblad död 4/1 1864 i 49 års ålder”. Hauta sijaitsee aivan piirilääkäri Wolmar Schildtin (1810–1893) hautapaaden lähettyvillä. Siinä, missä Schildt kuuluu Jyväskylän historian merkkihenkilöihin, Grönblad on varmasti monelle ohikulkijalle tuntematon. Kuka siis oli tämä nuorena kuollut tohtori Edvard Grönblad? nonPeerReviewed
Transmission of knowledge in Venetian fourteenth-century chronicles
2017
The doctoral thesis analyzes eight Venetian chronicles written c. 1340–1390. It looks into the transmission of these texts by examining their mutual relationships and by reconstructing the textual tradition of individual works. The research was conducted by using the book historical method in which an individual volume is examined from the perspective of textual history, its physical features and ownership history to give a global view of its genesis and functions. The method combines textual criticism and comparative textual analysis with codicological and palaeographical research. The results show that Venetian fourteenth-century chronicles generally had a limited early circulation. This …
