Abstract
GARCIA-HUIDOBRO, Joaquín and MANSUY, Daniel. Nicolás de Oresme y su interpretación del derecho natural aristotélico. Tópicos (México) [online]. 2008, n.35, pp.37-56. ISSN 0188-6649. https://doi.org/10.21555/top.v35i1.137.
The French translation of the Nicomachean Ethics done by Oresme in the 14th century has some interesting notes explaining the Aristotelian text. In this paper we present his interpretation of passage V 7, 1134b18-1135a5 of the NE, where a distinction is made between natural and conventional justice. Even though Oresme is influenced by Aquinas, his commentary shows great independence of thought and is a very interesting example of the transition from the medieval to the modern world.
