Summary

Academic life in the Swedish universities of the first half of the 17th century was heavily influenced by Ramist thought. This is clearly visible already in the statutes of the universities of Uppsala, Tartu and Turku, which all shared (mutatis mutandis) the same constitutions. The Ramist influence persists during the better part of the period and continues up to the late 1640s. The Uppsala university statutes from 1626 prohibit teaching of metaphysics and accordingly, we find only occasional mention of metaphysics in the disputations of the Swedish universities. Metaphysical topics are also generally avoided, and when discussed, then they are not categorized under metaphysics in the bodies of the texts. From 1640 onwards, Ramism starts to play an increasingly smaller role in disputations, and the first critical remarks towards Ramism also appear. At the same time, a rise in interest towards peripatetic philosophy is visible and the first positive mentions of metaphysics emerge in disputations. However, in the period before the reception of the new constitutions of 1655, we find only one work (from 1649) that uses metaphysics as a subject in the heading of the disputation. This article will also discuss the adoption of the new philosophical discipline of pneumatology (and its sub-discipline psychology) as a compromise, which permitted the prohibition of metaphysics to be bypassed and allowed consideration of metaphysical topics like God and the soul.
