In the Matěj z Janova's production, that was influenced with his Paris study, can be found and detected his response to Aristotle's system, especially in the sphere of contemplation on world order, nature, the law of nature and a human sense. The following text focuses on the relation of Matěj z Janova to Aristotle's system.
