Les dialogues platoniciens chez Plutarque
stratégies et méthodes exégétiques
La question du platonisme de Plutarque constitue un sujet crucial tant pour les spécialistes de Plutarque que pour ceux qui s'intéressent à la réception ancienne de Platon. Alors que les publications précédentes sur cette question se sont concentrées sur la nature de la fidélité de Plutarque à la philosophie platonicienne et sur la façon dont les thèses platoniciennes sont présentées dans le cadre du médio-platonisme, le présent volume tente plutôt, à travers une approche polyvalente,...

Jörn Müller Willensschwäche in Antike und Mittelalter
eine Problemgeschichte von Sokrates bis Johannes Duns Scotus

Die philosophische Relevanz dieses Alltagsproblems liegt in der damit verbundenen Infragestellung unseres Selbstverständnisses als rationale Akteure sowie in der Frage nach den involvierten handlungstheoretischen und psychologischen Erklärungsmustern für ein solches Handeln. Dieses Buch bietet die erste umfassende Geschichte dieses Problems im antiken...

Miroir et savoir
la transmission d'un thème platonicien, des Alexandrins à la philosophie arabo-musulmane; actes du colloque international tenu à Leuven et Louvain-la-Neuve, les 17 et 18 novembre 2005
Grâce à sa grande richesse, la métaphore platonicienne du miroir a été adoptée, amplifiée et élaborée dans l'Antiquité par une multitude d'auteurs, certes tous d'inspiration platonicienne, mais appartenant à la fois au paganisme et au christianisme. Lorsqu'on étudie cette métaphore dans le corpus philosophique, mystique et poétique en terre d'Islam, on constate qu'il ne s'agit pas d'une récurrence fortuite, d'un lieu commun, d'un archétype de la pensée humaine. Il s'agit au contraire...

Akky van der Veer De reuzen wurde wekker
in oare skiednis fan de ierde en de minske
Yn dit boek besiket Akky van der Veer (1943) al ûndersykjende- en skriuwendewei antwurd te finen op algemien minsklike fragen lykas: Wêrta binne wy op Ierde? Wêrom is der safolle gaos en lijen yn dizze wrâld? Wat kinne wy der meielkoar ta bydrage om de needsaaklike balâns tusken ljocht en tsjuster, tusken goed en kwea, werom te krijen? Net troch de kop yn it sân te stekken, is har stelling. Mar troch moedich te wêzen en de fiergeande manipulaasjes fan de PTB (Powers That Be), dêr't wy yn...

Franco Trabattoni Essays on Plato’s epistemology
An Innovating approach to Plato's philosophy. Through a careful survey of several significant Platonic texts, mainly focussing on the nature of knowledge, Essays on Plato's Epistemology offers the reader a fresh and promising approach to Plato's philosophy as a whole. From the very earliest reception of Plato's philosophy, there has been a conflict between a dogmatic and a sceptical interpretation of his work and thought. Moreover, the two sides are often associated, respectively, with a metaphysical...

John P. Doyle On the borders of being and knowing
some late scholastic thoughts on supertranscendental being
Sylvester Mauro, S.J. (1619-1687) noted that human intellects can grasp what is,what is not, what can be, and what cannot be. The first principle, 'it is not possible that the same thing simultaneously be and not be,' involves them all. The present volume begins with Greeks distinguishing 'being' from 'something' and proceeds to the late Scholastic doctrine of 'supertranscendental being,' which embraces both. On the way is Aristotle's distinction between 'being as being' and 'being as true' and his...

Averroes' natural philosophy and its reception in the Latin west
The impact of Averroes' natural philosophy on the history of philosophy and science. Ibn Rushd (1126-1198) or Averroes, is widely known as the unrivalled commentator on virtually all works by Aristotle. His commentaries and treatises were used as manuals for understanding Aristotelian philosophy until the Age of the Enlightenment. Both Averroes and the movement commonly known as 'Latin Averroism' have attracted considerable attention from historians of philosophy and science. Whereas most studies...

It demonstrates the fundamental role of the Trinity in Henry's philosophy and theology.

The concept of love in 17th and 18th century philosophy
"Love is joy with the accompanying idea of an external cause." Spinoza's definition of love (Ethics Book 3, Prop. LIX) manifests a major paradigm shift achieved by seventeenth century Europe in which the emotions, formerly seen as normative "forces of nature," were embraced by the new science of the mind. We are determined to volition by causes. This shift has often been seen as a transition from a philosophy laden with implicit values and assumptions to a more scientific and value-free way of understanding...

Elsa Giovanna Simonetti A perfect medium?
oracular divination in the thought of Plutarch
An in-depth analysis of oracular divination in Plutarch's thought. Oracular divination was of special concern for Plutarch of Chaeronea (45-120 AD), Platonic philosopher as well as priest at the oracle of Apollo in Delphi. The peculiar nature of Delphic divination as an (im)perfect intermediary between the material and the immaterial world is fathomed in a thorough study of Plutarch's Delphic dialogues. This in-depth philosophical-conceptual analysis will disclose an original interpretation of oracular...

Magdalena Bieniak The soul-body problem at Paris, ca. 1200-1250
Hugh of St-Cher and his contemporaries
The soul-body problem was among the most controversial issues discussed in 13th century Europe, and it continues to capture much attention today as the quest to understand human identity becomes more and more urgent. What made the discussion about this problem particularly interesting in the scholastic period was the tension between the traditional dualist doctrines and a growing need to affirm the unity of the human being. This debate is frequently interpreted as a conflict between the 'new' philosophy,...

Kadoc Mission & science
missiology revised
Science as an instrument to justify religious missions in secular society. The relationship between religion and science is complex and continues to be a topical issue. However, it is seldom zoomed in on from both Protestant and Catholic perspectives. By doing so the contributing authors in this collection gain new insights into the origin and development of missiology. Missiology is described in this book as a "project of modernity," a contemporary form of apologetics. "Scientific apologetics" was...
