Isaac of Stella |
Also found in: Wikipedia | 0.06 sec. |
Isaac of Stella(born c. 1100, England—died c. 1169, Étoile, near Poitiers, Aquitaine) Monk, philosopher, and theologian. Isaac joined the Cistercians during the reforms carried out by St. Bernard de Clairvaux. His scholarly works make use of logical argumentation and are influenced by the Neoplatonism of St. Augustine. His principal work, Letter to Alcher on the Soul (1162), integrates Aristotelian and Neoplatonic psychological theories with Christian mysticism. A leader of humanism in his day, he suggests that the intellect enables humans to grasp eternal ideas in time and that intelligence allows humans to intuit the reality of God.
