Spirits Of Life And Perception - Albert The Great'S Early And Mature Psychophysiology In Light Of His Arabic Sources

by Michele Meroni

~~241,15€~~ 217,04€ 10% OFF

 Does a plant shrink at night and swell in the day, like an animal breathing in and out? For a long time, the Galenic concept of spiritus provided a causal explanation for human and animal life and perception. Albert the Great (1200-1280), whose honorific acknowledges among other things his pioneering work on biology, extended the concept to plants. This is only one of the remarkable concepts studied in this book, the first comparative study of Albert's concept of spiritus. It unveils the Arabic roots of his early psychophysiology and the original developments found in his mature Aristotelian paraphrases.

Transzendentale Einheit

by Wouter Goris

359,08€ + 10% CARD

 Transcendental unity is a figure of thought of the Latin Middle Ages, which is indebted to Avicenna's renewal of metaphysics and which is wrongly attributed to Aristotle. A specific interpretation of the demonstrable attribute determines the metaphysical reflection on 'the one' and turns it into a transcendental attribute of being. Notwithstanding the variety of epistemic constellations, however, this metaphysical relationship of being and unity always turns out to be a fundamental state of affairs. Transcendental unity identifies as a problem constellation, the principles of which are still effective in the critique of scholastic metaphysics in classical German philosophy.

Anthropologische Differenz Und Animalische Konvenienz - Tierphilosophie Bei Thomas Von Aquin

by Tobias Davids

213,33€ + 10% CARD

 This study examines Thomas Aquinas's contribution to the systematic field of animal philosophy. It applies various models from the current philosophical debate (especially from that concerning the mind of animals) as interpretative aids to tap the potential of the Thomistic approach.Thomas draws a clear line of demarcation between animals and human beings (= anthropological difference). However, he also considers it important to work out the similarities between humans and animals, insofar as they are both so-called animalia, i.e., living beings possessing senses (= animal conformance).His philosophical deliberations concerning animals have a methodological function as well, namely to highlight the distinct capacities of human beings. Thus, for Thomas, the reflection on animals is a key instrument in dealing with anthropological questions.

Die Metaphysische Synthese Des Johannes Von Damaskus - Historische Zusammenhange Und Strukturtransformationen

by Smilen Markov

310,05€ + 10% CARD

 Smilen Markov's monograph on the metaphysical synthesis of John Damascene depicts a paradox ontological structure: the single man, whose ontological position is conditioned by non-being, participates in the life of the Origin of being. The term 'historical interconnections' denotes the basic elements of Damascene's reception strategy through which he approaches the Holy Scripture and the tradition of the fathers. The structural transformation to which different epochs and cultural circles put Damascene's concepts reveals regularity in understanding the intellectual scope of the Palestinian monk. The reception of his thought could serve as an indicator for the stable mental structures, 'framing' the epoch turning-points in European culture for at least six centuries.

Pietro Pomponazzis Erkenntnistheorie - Naturalisierung Des Menschlichen Geistes Im Spataristotelismus

by Paolo Rubini

401,48€ + 10% CARD

 The Renaissance philosopher Pietro Pomponazzi (1462-1525) is mostly known for denying the human mind's immateriality (and immortality) in accordance with his radical understanding of Aristotelianism. Pomponazzis Erkenntnistheorie attempts to reconstruct his theory of cognition. The author, Paolo Rubini, focuses on Pomponazzi's scattered views about the mind's ontological status and cognitive capacities, puts them into the context of Aristotelian-Scholastic psychology, and interprets them by reference to Pomponazzi's 'naturalistic' approach to the human soul. Particular interest is devoted to the role of representations in cognitive acts, the functional link between intellect and imagination, and the process of abstraction. The study is based on Pomponazzi's published writings about immortality as well as on unpublished records of his lectures about Aristotle's De anima.

Intellectual Traditions At The Medieval University (2 Vol. Set) - The Use Of Philosophical Psychology In Trinitarian Theology Among The Franciscans And Dominicans, 1250-1350

by Russell Friedman

583,00€ + 10% CARD

 This book traces the rise and decline of two rival intellectual traditions in later-medieval trinitarian theology, one of them predominantly Franciscan, the other predominantly Dominican. Disagreeing about the way to understand the identification in John's Gospel of the second person of the Trinity, the Son, with the Word, the two traditions clashed over the issues of concepts and concept formation, the category of relation, counterfactual logic, and the use of authority. Considering more than seventy theologians from the period, the book presents an overview of the debate, while also including detailed studies of the trinitarian views of such thinkers as Thomas Aquinas, Henry of Ghent, John Duns Scotus, Peter Auriol, William Ockham, Walter Chatton, and Gregory of Rimini.

William Ockham On Metaphysics - The Science Of Being And God

by Jenny Pelletier

311,38€ + 10% CARD

 In William Ockham on Metaphysics, Jenny Pelletier offers an account of Ockham's concept of metaphysics as it emerges throughout his philosophical and theological work. She argues that Ockham (c. 1287-1347) believed metaphysics to be a fruitful branch of philosophy and gives a preliminary description of its distinctive subject-matter. Metaphysics is the science that studies all beings and their most general properties.Ockham was considered by some to be profoundly skeptical of metaphysics. Recent scholarship tends to focus on regional metaphysical issues (e.g. universals, relations), logic or semantics, theory of cognition, concepts, mental language. Jenny Pelletier provides a positive interpretation of Ockham on metaphysics as such that enriches our current understanding of this seminal medieval thinker.

Medieval Philosophy As Transcendental Thought - From Philip The Chancellor (Ca. 1225) To Francisco Suarez

by Jan Aertsen

491,58€ + 10% CARD

 The origin of transcendental thought is not to be sought in Kant's philosophy but is a medieval achievement. This book provides for the first time a complete history of the doctrine of the transcendentals, from its beginning in the "Summa de bono" of Philip the Chancellor (ca. 1225) up to its most extensive systematic account in the "Metaphysical Disputations" of Francisco Suarez (1597). The book also shows the importance of the doctrine for the understanding of philosophy in the Middle Ages. Metaphysics is called "First Philosophy", not because it deals with the first, divine being, but because it treats that which is first in a cognitive sense, the transcendental concepts of "being", "one", "true" and "good".Winner of the Journal of the History of Philosophy Book Prize competition for the best book in the history of western philosophy published in 2013.

Deus Ut Tentus Vel Visus - Die Debatte Um Die Seligkeit Im Reflexiven Akt (Ca. 1293 - 1320)

by Thomas Jeschke

495,55€ + 10% CARD

 In his Sentences Commentary (published ca. 1320), the Carmelite John Baconthorp discusses the question of whether beatitude is a reflexive act. He refers to John of Paris's view in which beatitude is an act of knowing that we possess God and Durandus of St. Pourcain's view that it is knowing that we know God. The object of the first is God as possessed (Deus ut tentus) and the second is God as known (Deus ut visus). Taking Baconthorp's account as a starting point, the present study adopts a threefold approach: First it analyzes Baconthorp's text on its own terms. Next it reconstructs the 13th/14th-century debate on the basis of the original sources. Finally it compares Baconthorp's narration with the historical positions, drawing further conclusions about Baconthorp's specific methodology.
