Ulrich of Strasbourg
Ulrich von Strasbourg , also Ulrich Engelbrecht / Engelberti , lat. Ulricus de Argentina , (* around 1220, † 1277 on the way to Paris ) was a Dominican theologian .
He entered the Dominican order . Ulrich was a student of Albert the Great . After completing his studies (probably in Cologne ) he worked as a lecturer at the Strasbourg Dominican Convention and was elected prior of the German Dominican province ( provincial ) in 1272 . On the way to Paris , where he was supposed to read the sentences of Petrus Lombardus as a baccalaureus , he died.
Ulrich's main work is the theological-philosophical compendium De summo bono (written in 1265/1274) , which has been handed down in four full manuscripts . Loris Sturlese believes that this script, which cannot be assigned either to a neo-platonizing or to an Aristotelian direction, cannot compete with the summa of Thomas Aquinas , but at least it shows a well-thought-out architecture and a remarkable originality (column 1253). Ulrich leads z. For example, in his doctrine of proof of God, both Epicurus consensus omnium argument and the so-called Aristotelian allegory of the cave handed down by Cicero ( De natura deorum 2.95f.) As authorities for his theory of a naturally implanted, habitual knowledge of God ( cognitio Dei naturaliter inserta ).
A letter book contains at least 13 Latin letters that Ulrich wrote as provincial.
A German sermon comes from a Hamburg manuscript .
