Jacopo Zabarella

Jacopo Zabarella ( Latinized Jacobus Zabarellus ; born September 5, 1533 in Padua , † October 15, 1589 ibid) was an Italian philosopher.

Zabarella studied philosophy at the University of Padua and received his master's degree in 1553. In 1564 he became professor of logic and philosophy at his home university, where he stayed until his death. Zabarella was a follower of Aristotelianism and wrote several Aristotle commentaries. Primarily he dealt with logic and methodology . His collected logical writings Opera logica (1578) contain essays on analytical and synthetic methodology, and in his collected essays on natural philosophy De rebus naturalibus (1590) he developed theories for scientific research and expressed himself on the human senses, thinking and intelligence. Zabarella's logical writings were also influential outside of Italy, especially in Germany. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz adopted it as a basis in the 17th century.
