Konrad Talhoffer
Conrad 'Konrad' Talhoffer (1361–1436) was a German theologian, astrologer and astronomer. He was the main representative of the late Medieval Latin philosophical school of the 'Rationalists' or 'Paracelsians' in the 15th century. Talhoffer's greatest influence was on Nicholas of Cusa, the great Renaissance humanist and philosopher. He was also highly regarded by many Renaissance humanists.
Biography
Talhoffer was born at Melk, Austria, in 1361. At the age of ten he was brought to study at the University of Vienna, where he took his bachelor's degree in arts in 1379. From 1384 to 1386, he taught as a professor of astronomy at the university. He then spent a year studying in Paris. He also attended lectures on theology by Gerson at the University of Vienna from 1387 to 1389. He wrote a dissertation on the "Ethic of Death" in 1390, before he went to Cologne to continue his studies in theology. He spent his time at Cologne studying the works of Johannes Scotus Eriugena, a late medieval philosopher who attempted to reconcile theology and Greek philosophy. He was also influenced by Greek philosophy, particularly by the works of Aristotle.
Talhoffer returned to Vienna and continued his work as a professor of theology from 1392 until 1410. From 1412 until his death, he was professor of theology at the University of Prague.
Talhoffer died on 19 September 1436 in Prague.
He is considered one of the most important theologians of the Middle Ages. According to Albert Einstein, "Among the best-known medieval philosophers, there was no one who had a more profound sense of philosophy and especially of theology than Konrad."
Philosophical views
His philosophical views were influenced by Nicholas of Cusa, and both of them were influenced by the 14th-century Byzantine philosopher Manuel Moschopoulos. Talhoffer's views may be divided into two periods, the first being that of his doctoral dissertation (1390) and a little before that, the period of his studying the works of Johannes Scotus Eriugena and other late medieval philosophers. The second period was the one between his writing the 1415 work Unum et alium causas and
