Mind, Soul And The Cosmos In The High Middle Ages

~~171,59€~~ 154,43€ 10% OFF

 This is a unique volume in which a critical introduction and multiple chapters offer a wide-ranging discussion of medieval conceptions of the nature of humankind, its relationship with the universe, and the processes of thinking by which both are conceptualized. Concentrating on the centuries spanning the High Middle Ages, chapters include in-depth analyses of such ideas as the habit as the ultimate dwelling place of the soul, the Soul of the Universe and its relation to humanity, and the Agent Intellect’s part in the functions of the mind regarding abstraction and intuition. This book explores how metaphysical Intelligences interact with our movements, how the desires of our minds affect the acquisition of knowledge, as well as asking how and why analysis of the makeup of animal souls took place.The High Middle Ages was a crucially important epoch in the history of intellectual endeavor. This volume appeals to students and researchers; it discusses and evaluates the contributions on the subjects of mind, soul, and the cosmos of some of the finest Christian, Jewish, and Moslem intellects in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Theologians, philosophers, and cosmologists include Aquinas, Grosseteste, Avicenna, Gersonides, Buridan, the School of Chartres, as well as many others. The overarching theme of this collection of essays is that vitally new conceptions of what it meant to be a rational Human, the purpose of thought in relation to the journey of the soul, and the metaphysical character of our universe contributed enormously to the paradigm-shifting nature of this age.

Aristotle. On Youth And Old Age, Life And Death, And Respiration 1-6 - With Translation, Introduction And Interpretation

by Giouli Korobili

131,84€ + 10% CARD

 This book is devoted to the last part of Aristotle’s collection of short treatises known today as the Parva Naturalia, i.e. the treatise On Youth and Old Age, on Life and Death, on Respiration. In the three main sections of the book, the author offers a translation, a commentary and a thorough analysis of this work. The author argues in favour of the unity of the work and contextualises its ideas within Aristotle’s corpus and the medical tradition of his time. After an Introduction to the nature of the work and its significance for the history of natural philosophy and science, a new English translation follows, along with a detailed commentary of Chapters 1-6, which combines philosophical discussion with philological observations. The book includes four interpretive essays, which tackle problems related to the whole treatise on a more philosophical basis, including questions about the structure and unity ofthe work, the organisation of the material, Aristotle’s methodological principles, his aims and target audience as well as the relevance of his selected themes to the thematic agenda of some Hippocratic writings. This book is of interest to students and researchers in Aristotle’s psychophysiology, and his views about the embodied mind, as well as to anyone concerned with the history of natural philosophy and science more generally.

Aristotelian Subjectivism: Francisco Suarez'S Philosophy Of Perception

by Daniel Heider

145,09€ + 10% CARD

 This monograph presents new material on Francisco Suárez’s comprehensive theory of sense perception. The core theme is perceptual intentionality in Suárez’s theory of the senses, external and internal, as presented in his Commentaria una cum quaestionibus in libros Aristotelis De anima published in 1621. The author targets the question of the multistage genesis of perceptual acts by considering the ontological "items" involved in the procession of sensory information. However, the structural issue is not left aside, and the nature of the relationship due to which our perceptions are mental representations of this or that object is also considered. The heuristic historiographical background includes not only the theories of classical authors, such as Aristotle and Aquinas, but also those of late medieval authors of the fourteenth century. These are headed by John Duns Scotus, John of Jandun, Peter Auriol and Peter John Olivi. Readers will discover the differences between Suárez’s and Aquinas’s views, as well as other sources that may have served as positive inspiration for the Jesuit’s theory. By considering the late medieval philosophy of the fourteenth century, this book helps, to a certain extent, to fill a gap in the historiography of philosophy regarding the link between late medieval and early modern scholasticism. In the first part of the book, the metaphysics of the soul and powers is considered. Chapters on the external senses follow, covering topics such as the sensible species, the causes of sensation, self-awareness, and the ordering of the external senses. A further chapter is devoted to the internal senses and the author argues that by reducing the number and functional scope of the interior senses Suárez deepens the gap between the external senses and the intellect, but he reduces it through emphasizing the unifying efficacy of the soul.This book brings a synthetic and unifying perspective to contemporary research and will particularly appeal to graduate students and researchers in theology and philosophy, especially philosophy of mind.<div></div>
