The School of Saint Victor

Japanese: サン・ビクトール学派 - サンビクトールがくは
The School of Saint Victor
A general term for the people who gathered around Guillaume de Champeaux, who retired to the Abbey of St. Victor (built in 1113) on the outskirts of Paris and worked to establish mystical theology, and the school that was formed there. Representative figures include Hugh and Richard. This school not only valued mysticism, but also played a part in the rise of theology in the 12th century by aiming to synthesize philosophy and theology and constructing a mystical theology that was appropriate to this. Hugh, following Aristotle, placed natural knowledge in abstraction from experience, and by doing so recognized the primacy of reason, and then showed the ascent of the spirit in the contemplation of God, directing faith to a higher level.

パリ郊外のサン・ビクトールSt.Victor修道院(1113建立)に隠退して神秘神学の確立につとめたギヨーム・ド・シャンポーのもとに集まった人々,およびそこに形成された学統を総称する用語。フーゴー,リカルドゥスらがその代表。この学派はたんに神秘主義を重んじただけでなく,哲学と神学の総合をめざしてこれにふさわしい神秘神学を構築したことで,12世紀の神学興隆の一翼をになった。フーゴーはアリストテレスに従って経験からの抽象という自然的認識をおき,これによって理性の優位をみとめたのちに,神観想における精神の上昇を示して信仰を高次のものへと向かわせる。
