Specifically, (1) we will study and provide a comprehensive assessment of Nikola Vitov Gu\u010deti\u0107\u2019s <strong>[Nicolaus Viti Gozzius\/Nicol<em>\u00f2<\/em> Vito di Gozze, 1549\u20131610] <\/strong>conception of the immortality of the soul, a quintessential problem of Renaissance philosophy. (2) We will deepen our understanding of Gu\u010deti\u0107\u2019s output through focused research of archival materials. (3) We will examine and evaluate Juraj Dubrov\u010danin\u2019s <strong>[Georgius Raguseius, \u20201622]<\/strong> rational critique of astrology from the perspective of astronomy as a mathematical science. (4) We will analyze Matija Frki\u0107\u2019s<strong>[Matthaeus Ferchius, 1583\u20131669]<\/strong> bold innovations in metaphysics, particularly in cosmology, where he abandoned the Aristotelian fifth element as the substance of celestial bodies, as well as Frki\u0107\u2019s innovative interpretation of the ancient axiom that \u201cnothing comes from nothing,\u201d which had to be reconciled with the teachings of the Book of Genesis. These four research directions will contribute to a well-founded assessment of the originality and contribution of Croatian Renaissance Aristotelianism to European philosophy and science.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the website of the research project \u201cMetaphysical Topics Among Croatian Renaissance Aristotelians\u201d, funded by the Croatian Science Foundation&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-112","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/metopcro.ifzg.hr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/112","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/metopcro.ifzg.hr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/metopcro.ifzg.hr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/metopcro.ifzg.hr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/metopcro.ifzg.hr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=112"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/metopcro.ifzg.hr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/112\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":169,"href":"https:\/\/metopcro.ifzg.hr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/112\/revisions\/169"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/metopcro.ifzg.hr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=112"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
