Abstract

RICARDO PIERPAULI, José. Wisdom and Political Science in the works of Albert the Great. Acta Scientiarum. Education [online]. 2015, vol.37, n.3, pp.229-236. ISSN 2178-5201.  https://doi.org/10.4025/actascieduc.v37i3.27322.

Albert the Great provided several statements to build a sort of Political Philosophy from his theological and philosophical works. His Political Philosophy is relatively autonomous with regard to Metaphysics and Supernatural Theology due to the fact that, even when it has its own principles, formal objective and end, which is the political common good, these derive from the Supreme Being and Supreme Good which are God´s first creations. There is thus a clear subordinate relationship between Political Science and Wisdom whose object is God.

Keywords : first principles; formal objective; end; adept intellect.
