AB - The aim of this paper is to reassess the historical significance and character of the Condemnation of 1277 in light of recent critical scholarship. This paper successively raises questions concerning the agent of the condem nation, its targets, the internal order of the list of condemned propositions, and the impact of the condemnation on subsequent intellectual history. The main conclusions of the article are as follows. First, rather than being primarily a response by the bishop of Paris to a papal request, the Condemnation of 1277 was an event in which the bishop himself exercised leadership over censorship for reasons tied to ecclesiastical politics. Second, the condemnation functioned less as a judgment on actually existing persons and views than as a preventive measure, and thus allows us to observe a kind of “invention of censorship.” Third, the list of condemned propositions is not a random patchwork but exhibits an arrangement governed by an internal order. Fourth, it is an overstatement either to regard the condemnation as the decisive starting point for the rise of modern science or to see it as a critical turning point in the expulsion earch Professor, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea (Corresponding Author) 김율 · 정현석 1277년 단죄, 어떻게 이해할 것인가? 263 of Aristotle. The true legacy of the Condemnation of 1277 lies not in the prohibition or promotion of particular doctrines, but in the enduring tension surrounding the production and control of knowledge.
