Discussion and concluding remarks
Rationale
Ars artium is a syntagma that appears in the definition of philosophia (Isidore of Sevilla), dialectica (Peter of Spain) or grammatica (Evrard of Bethune). In some cases this locution is followed by expressions such as scientia scientiarum or disciplina disciplinarum. This syntagma connotes the existence of an Ars of higher order, which leads the other arts and disciplines, for instance Ars amoris and the contemplative life (William of St. Thierry), or Ars divina (Thomas Aquinas) and its reference to the causal virtues inserted in nature. The colloquium and the 2015 issue of Mediaevalia. Textos e estudos, in which the accepted papers will be published, aim to expose the different considerations about the ideal of the “Art of the arts” (Ars artium) and its influence on the evolution of Llull’s Art (Ars magna).
Papers discuss the following topics:
