Sažetak
In all of the thus-far reviews of it, Petrić's philosophy has most often been considered to be a thought that fluctuates between two poles -Plato and Aristotle's philosophies-and at the same time, Petric's anti-Aristotelian standpoint is thought to be on a par with his pro-Platonic orientation. However, a rather interesting fact has not been ohservad-the fact that, as a Platonist, Pctrić dedicated four very comprehensive volumes (Discussionum peripateticarum) to the reflection on Aristotle's philosophy, and onlY a very few pages to the reflection on Plato's Philosophy. It is also interesting that these very few pages are not to be found in his principal works, but rather in the not weIl-known Appendix to Nova de universis philosophia. In this study, the importance of the Appendix is point out, which confirms not only the already observed complexity of Petrić's relation to Aristotle, but also his -in respect of the mndern age insight - interesting view of Plato's philosophy. In the Appendix in question, Petric, in fact considers Plato and Aristotlee as both mystical and exoteric philosophers. Also, Petrić's analysis of Plato's s philosophY in the Appendix is strikingly interesting, as well as his view of the relation of the two Philosophers, something that is based on the misconception of Aristotle being the author of mystic philosophy. And finally, something that is also interesting is the way that Petrić determines the relation of the two ancient philosophers towards the treatises Priscae theologiae, The Chaldaean Oracles and the treatises attributed to Hermes Trismegistos, a bilingual publicnation of which is contained in the Appendix here at issue.
