Senses and the original sin in the thinking of John Wyclif

The main purpose of this article is to present an approach to the relationship between the senses and the original sin in the thinking of John Wyclif (c.1328-1384). It will begin by making a brief outline of the link between senses and sins in the Middle Ages, to continue with a succinct exposition of the extremely versatile figure of Wyclif and its context. The first sections will be based on updated bibliography, while the last one will especially rely upon the English thinker’s Tractatus de statu innocencie, from1376. It will be devoted to select and analyse the passages in which the author addresses the senses, both before and after the fall of Adam and Eve, and with theirs, that of all humanity.
