The paper examines the influence of aristotelianism on the explanation of action by Thomas Aquinas and Raymund Lullus. The main focus is on the basic elements of this influence, on the originality of the thought of Thomas Aquinas and Raymund Lullus, on their different interpretations of action in comparison with aristotelianism, and on reasons leading to different ways of accepting aristotelianism.

Martin Luther, the 16th century religious thinker and reformer of Western Christendom, is usually depicted as a staunch opponent of Aristotle, especially when it came to using Aristotle’s ideas in religious intellectual reflection. Our article aims at examining Luther’s use of selected key concepts and ideas from Aristotle, while at the same time criticizing other concepts as dangerously misleading. The selection of concepts is based on their occurrence and relevance for scholastic theology, which Luther evaluates critically. Moreover, we propose to distinguish between Luther’s relationship to Aristotle’s ideas as these became known to Luther through the available Latin translations of his works, and between Aristotelian concepts that had been employed by selected scholastic theologians. There appears to be a development of emphasis in Luther from his early years to more mature (and expressive) views. Another important distinction that we wish to propose in assessing Luther’s attitude to Aristotle is whether his ideas are used coram hominibus (i.e., dealing with realities of this earthly realm without a direct linkage to salvation) or coram Deo (i.e., dealing with the relationship between God and humans in the history of salvation). A proper evaluation of Luther’s views and use of Aristotle has direct theological and ethical consequences, both in the realm of individual ethics as well as in the dimension of social and political interaction of humans.

Martin Luther is generally considered a stark critic of Aristotle and, even more so, the medieval Aristotelianism of his age. Our article explores the development of Luther’s appraisal of Aristotle’s thought throughout his career with a special emphasis on the topic of theological anthropology. We will distinguish between the fundamental anthropological paradigms based on their situatedness – vertically, coram Deo, and horizontally, coram hominibus. The imago dei (Greek: eikon tou theou) doctrine will be closely examined as Luther’s essential component of his doctrine of the human being, and ethical as well as social implications will be drawn from his emphases. Aristotle’s philosophical heritage will be contrasted with Luther’s views on human will, conscience, sin, concupiscence, and divine grace. Our thesis is that, owing to Luther’s excessive reliance on God’s sovereignty and omnipotence, innate human capacities are diminished to the point of insignificance. This makes Luther’s anthropology pessimistic in regards to human capacities to do well. Questions of moral responsibility, the goodness of creation (including human reason), and the meaningfulness of human moral struggles are examined in the last section of our paper.
