Book excerpt: "The contributors to Things in Motion, collectively, demonstrate the dynamic capacity of things in motion, from the point where things emerge from source material, to their circulation in the contemporary world, including their extended circulation through reproduction in other media. The various chapters show that examining the itineraries of things multiplies the assemblages things form and multiplies the sites at which we can recognize things in motion. None of the things discussed seem to ever have died. Their itineraries are continued by their movement in and out of museums and curation facilities, where many of them have come to rest temporarily, the circulation of their images, and their adaptation in sometimes unexpected contemporary material culture. Their itineraries also include the scholarship about them, to which this volume contributes, making it another site assembled by these active things"--Provided by publisher.
Download or read book Physics written by Aristotle and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eighth book of Aristotle's Physics is the culmination of his theory of nature. He discusses not just physics, but the origins of the universe and the metaphysical foundations of cosmology and physical science. He moves from the discussion of motion in the cosmos to the identification of a single source and regulating principle of all motion, and so argues for the existence of a first 'unmoved mover'. Daniel Graham offers a clear, accurate new translation of this key text in the history of Western thought, and accompanies the translation with a careful philosophical commentary to guide the reader towards an understanding of the wealth of important and influential arguments and ideas that Aristotle puts forward.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to investigate the legitimacy of the principle, "The per accidens necessarily implies the per se," as it is found in the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas. Special emphasis will be placed upon the function of this principle in the proofs for God's existence. The relevance of the principle in this latter context can be seen at once when it is observed that it is the key to the solution of the well known "prob lem of infinite regress. " The investigation of the principle in question will be divided into two Parts. A preliminary examination of the function of the principle will be made in Part I: Domains Other Than That of Creature-God. The domains to be considered in this Part are those of accident-substance, change, and knowledge. Employing what is learned of the function of the principle in these areas of application, Part II: The Domain of Creature-God will analyze the role of the principle in the proofs for God's existence. This latter Part will constitute the greater portion of the book, since the domain of creatures in their relation to God is the most significant application of the principle in the writings of St. Thomas. In the course of this investigation, relevant analyses by St. Thomas' commentators - both classical and contemporary - will be considered. Finally, in light of the insights offered by St.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SAINT THOMAS AQUINAS COLLECTION [22 BOOKS] — Quality Formatting and Value — Active Index, Multiple Table of Contents for all Books — Multiple Illustrations Thomas Aquinas, O.P., was an Italian Dominican friar, Catholic priest, and Doctor of the Church. He was an immensely influential philosopher, theologian, and jurist in the tradition of scholasticism, within which he is also known as the Doctor Angelicus and the Doctor Communis. The name Aquinas identifies his ancestral origins in the county of Aquino in present-day Lazio, where his family held land until 1137. He was the foremost classical proponent of natural theology and the father of Thomism. His influence on Western thought is considerable, and much of modern philosophy developed or opposed his ideas, particularly in the areas of ethics, natural law, metaphysics, and political theory. Unlike many currents in the Church of the time, Thomas embraced several ideas put forward by Aristotle—whom he called "the Philosopher"—and attempted to synthesize Aristotelian philosophy with the principles of Christianity. The works for which he is best known are the Summa Theologiae and the Summa contra Gentiles. His commentaries on Sacred Scripture and on Aristotle form an important part of his body of work. Furthermore, Thomas is distinguished for his eucharistic hymns, which form a part of the Church's liturgy. —BOOKS— AN APOLOGY FOR THE RELIGIOUS ORDERS ARISTOTLE ON INTERPRETATION CATENA AUREA: COMMENTARY ON THE FOUR GOSPELS COLLECTED OUT OF THE WORKS OF THE FATHERS: VOLUMES 1 TO 4 COMMENTARY ON ARISTOTLE’S DE ANIMA COMMENTARY ON ARISTOTLE'S PHYSICS COMMENTARY ON THE METAPHYSICS COMPENDIUM OF THEOLOGY DE MEMORIA ET REMINISCENTIA EXPLANATION OF THE LORD'S PRAYER EXPLANATION OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS NATURE AND GRACE: SELECTIONS FROM THE SUMMA THEOLOGICA OF THOMAS AQUINAS NINETY-NINE HOMILIES OF SAINT THOMAS AQUINAS: UPON THE EPISTLES AND GOSPELS FOR FORTY-NINE SUNDAYS OF THE CHRISTIAN YEAR OF GOD AND HIS CREATURES ON KINGSHIP: TO THE KING OF CYPRUS ON THE POWER OF GOD REFUTATION OF THE PERNICIOUS TEACHING OF THOSE WHO WOULD DETER MEN FROM ENTERING RELIGIOUS LIFE THE BREAD OF LIFE: OR SAINT THOMAS AQUINAS ON THE ADORABLE SACRAMENT OF THE ALTAR THE PERFECTION OF THE SPIRITUAL LIFE THE RELIGIOUS STATE: THE EPISCOPATE AND THE PRIESTLY OFFICE THE SOUL THE SUMMA CONTRA GENTILES THE SUMMA THEOLOGICA: COMPLETE EDITION PUBLISHER: AETERNA PRESS

Download or read book The Rational Enterprise written by Rosemary Desjardins and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1990-03-09 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Desjardins conclusion, that the Theaetetus really does point to a particular theory of knowledge, certainly will be controversial, since for many people the idea that the Theaetetus fails to define knowledge is the cornerstone of their interpretation of Platos later philosophical thought. But whatever one thinks about the conclusion, it must be agreed that the manner in which it is defended is intrinsically important. Desjardins starts from the unassailable premise that the dialogues are internally unified, and that everything in the dialogues is there for a reason. Her method, then, is to show how some of the features of the dialogue that are usually not taken very seriously actually are very important. Of course, she is not the only scholar taking this sort of tack, but what she makes of the various elements of the Theaetetus is a most impressive construction.

Download or read book Theaetetus written by Plato and published by Aeterna Press. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SOME dialogues of Plato are of so various a character that their relation to the other dialogues cannot be determined with any degree of certainty. The Theaetetus, like the Parmenides, has points of similarity both with his earlier and his later writings. The perfection of style, the humour, the dramatic interest, the complexity of structure, the fertility of illustration, the shifting of the points of view, are characteristic of his best period of authorship. The vain search, the negative conclusion, the figure of the midwives, the constant profession of ignorance on the part of Socrates, also bear the stamp of the early dialogues, in which the original Socrates is not yet Platonized. Had we no other indications, we should be disposed to range the Theaetetus with the Apology and the Phaedrus, and perhaps even with the Protagoras and the Laches. Aeterna Press
Download or read book Summa Dharmalogica written by Maik Sulmaya Pehrsson and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-09-30 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summa Dharmalogica is a new detailed take on the mythological history of Indian religion from a Buddhist perspective. There are several interwoven themes throughout the text, but the main thesis is that the underlying philosophy of all Buddhist (and related) traditions offers a middle-way solution to the current battle between new materialist movements and the Creationist movements of religion. Another parallel theme is the suggestion that the "dharma" the practical philosophy central to Hindu and Buddhist lineages has its roots in the Neolithic age long before Orthodox religion and that the seemingly different traditions of Vedanta, Tantra, Madhyamaka, Advaita and Yoga are essentially identical. This is supported by way of study and analysis of mythology, anthropology and philosophy. The investigation into this substratum of spirituality shows that it is in fact the far more recent branches of Tibetan Buddhism that seem to come closest to the 'original or primal intention and practise of the dharma. The title of the book is borrowed from the Dominican Theologian St Thomas Aquinas, who tied together the scattered Christian ideology of the 13th Century and infused them with a new philosophical and scientific fervour in his Summa Theologica. This is what I have attempted to do here with the Vedic-Buddhist conglomerate, albeit on a much smaller scale. By looking at the theological similarities and differences between a variety of religious ideas and facing the starkly materialistic dogma of popular science today, a new level of clarity and knowledge comes to light. One of the aims of this study has been to describe the entire philosophical outlook of Vedic and Buddhist notions on ultimate reality. Phenomenology and Origin are studied and debated, offering both an ancient as well as a new way of looking at the nature of reality. In doing so, various other offers for ultimate reality Creationism, Evolution, Quantum Physics are taken on board and investigated. Connected to this is a specific look at the much misunderstood topic of Tantra, its historical roots and philosophical implications as well as its pre-religious antiquity. It is at this point that we come into deep investigation of concepts of faith, God, enlightenment as well as birth, death, sex and unity. Embark on a logical and spiritual journey of reason and wisdom, partaking in a kind of 'New Theism' by looking at God through Buddhist goggles, disseminating the flaws of creationism and evolution and understanding the nature of the universe through the ontological study of Amandas toes! The journey is concluded by offering a meditation manual of sorts, tying in the ideas that have been discussed and channeling them into a positive, practical application in the form of a fully revised presentation of the Lam Rim. Finally, this book is not about nor in support or denial of religion but rather an investigation into the true nature of reality. Though it investigates religious ideas and history it shows clearly that 'dharma' is something different.

Download or read book Ideas in Motion in Baghdad and Beyond written by Damien Janos and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-10-05 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains a collection of articles focusing on the philosophical and theological exchanges between Muslim and Christian intellectuals living in Baghdad during the classical period of Islamic history, when this city was a vibrant center of philosophical, scientific, and literary activity. The philosophical accomplishments and contribution of Christians writing in Arabic and Syriac represent a crucial component of Islamic society during this period, but they have typically been studied in isolation from the development of mainstream Islamic philosophy. The present book aims for a more integrated approach by exploring case studies of philosophical and theological cross-pollination between the Christian and Muslim traditions, with an emphasis on the Baghdad School and its main representative, Yaḥyā ibn ʿAdī.
