Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet essai vise à mettre au jour le mode de connaissance du principe qu''Albert le Grand déploie, dans son commentaire johannique, comme réponse à l''aporie des philosophes. Il formule celle-ci à propos du verset Jn 1, 7: «Et, bien qu''en elle-même elle soit très manifeste, cependant, notre intellect est, par rapport à elle, comme les yeux de la chauve-souris par rapport à la lumière du soleil». C''est à partir de la notion de témoignage, dans laquelle il reconnaît la structure même de l''Évangile de Jean, que le maître de Cologne développe la connaissance testimoniale comme voie vers le principe, alternative à la métaphysique. Cette enquête procède à partir des questions suivantes. Du point de vue noétique, comment Albert de Cologne réélabore-t-il la notion de médiation à l''oeuvre dans le modèle péripatéticien qui propose de parvenir au principe selon la gradation des sciences physique, mathématique et métaphysique? Il reconnaît, dans la connaissance testimoniale et dans la métaphysique, l''homologie structurelle de la manuduction: toutes deux commencent par les données des sens et de l''imagination qui conduisent l''intellect «par la main» vers le principe divin. Du point de vue anthropologique, en quoi la connaissance testimoniale constitue-t-elle le mode de connaissance du principe adapté à l''intellect humain en tant qu''il est conjoint aux sens et à l''imagination, et non pas en tant qu''il en est séparé? C''est en ce qu''elle s''adresse à l''intellect humain, en tant qu''il est humain, que la connaissance testimoniale diffère de la métaphysique. Elle demeure dans le milieu, ou la médiation, des images. Du point de vue herméneutique, le Docteur universel nomme intelligentia figuralis le mode d''interprétation spécifique des images du principe. S''agit-il d''un art ou d''une science? Du point de vue métaphysique, en érigeant la notion de témoignage en point focal de sa lecture du quatrième évangile, Maître Albert élabore de manière spécifique le concept de médiation dans le contexte johannique. Comment se caractérise cette spécificité par rapport à ce qu''il développe dans ses commentaires aristotéliciens et dionysiens, notamment? En retour, la notion johannique de témoignage est radicalement réinterprétée à la lumière de la théorie cosmologique gréco-arabe de la médiation qu''est le vase de lumière. Qu''en ressort-il quant à la lecture albertienne de l''Évangile de Jean? Le bénéfice de cet essai philosophique consiste à étudier la notion de médiation à partir d''une micro-lecture du verset Jn 1, 7, en mettant en lumière le réseau textuel auquel elle appartient ainsi que la manière transversale dont cette notion circule dans toute l''oeuvre d''Albert le Grand - dans le corpus aristotélicien, dionysien, scripturaire - et dans tous les champs de sa pensée - métaphysique, théologique, ontologique, noétique, physique, cosmologique, biologique, minéralogique... This essay sheds light on how Albert the Great in his Johannine commentary unfolds his response to various aporia of philosophers on knowing the principle, drawing on John 1:7 (''And, although in itself, it is very manifest, yet our intellect is, in relation to it, like the bat''s eyes in relation to the sunlight''). On the basis of the notion of witness, in which he recognizes the very structure of the Gospel of John, the Master of Cologne develops testimonial knowledge as a way to the principle, an alternative to metaphysics. From the noetic point of view, this essay asks how Albert of Cologne redefines the notion of mediation at work in the peripatetic model according to physical, mathematical and metaphysical sciences. Albert recognizes in testimonial knowledge and metaphysics the structural homology of manuduction: both begin with the data of the senses and the imagination that lead the intellect ''by the hand'' towards the divine principle. How from an anthropological point of view does testimonial knowledge constitute the mode of knowledge of the principle that is adapted to the human intellect as it is joint to the senses and to imagination? Testimonial knowledge differs from metaphysical knowledge insofar as it is addressed to the human intellect. It remains in the realm of mediation and images. How from a hermeneutical point of view, the Doctor universalis calls intelligentia figuralis the specific method of interpreting images of the principle. Is it an art or a science? By making the notion of testimony a focal point in his reading of the fourth gospel, Master Albert elaborates in a specific way the concept of mediation in the Johannine context. How is this specificity characterized compared to what he develops in his comments on Aristotelian and Dionysian thinking? On the other hand, the Johannine notion of testimony is radically reinterpreted in the light of the vase of light, a Greco-Arabic cosmological theory of mediation. This philosophical essay studies the notion of mediation from a micro-reading of John 1:7, highlighting the textual network to which it belongs, as well as the transversal way in which this notion circulates throughout Albert''s work - in the Aristotelian, Dionysian, and scriptural corpus - and in all the fields of his thought - metaphysics, theology, ontology, noesis, physics, cosmology, biology, mineralogy...

Download or read book Citizen Subject written by Étienne Balibar and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What can the universals of political philosophy offer to those who experience "the living paradox of an inegalitarian construction of egalitarian citizenship"? Citizen Subject is the summation of Étienne Balibar’s career-long project to think the necessary and necessarily antagonistic relation between the categories of citizen and subject. In this magnum opus, the question of modernity is framed anew with special attention to the self-enunciation of the subject (in Descartes, Locke, Rousseau, and Derrida), the constitution of the community as “we” (in Hegel, Marx, and Tolstoy), and the aporia of the judgment of self and others (in Foucualt, Freud, Kelsen, and Blanchot). After the “humanist controversy” that preoccupied twentieth-century philosophy, Citizen Subject proposes foundations for philosophical anthropology today, in terms of two contrary movements: the becoming-citizen of the subject and the becoming-subject of the citizen. The citizen-subject who is constituted in the claim to a “right to have rights” (Arendt) cannot exist without an underside that contests and defies it. He—or she, because Balibar is concerned throughout this volume with questions of sexual difference—figures not only the social relation but also the discontent or the uneasiness at the heart of this relation. The human can be instituted only if it betrays itself by upholding “anthropological differences” that impose normality and identity as conditions of belonging to the community. The violence of “civil” bourgeois universality, Balibar argues, is greater (and less legitimate, therefore less stable) than that of theological or cosmological universality. Right is thus founded on insubordination, and emancipation derives its force from otherness. Ultimately, Citizen Subject offers a revolutionary rewriting of the dialectic of universality and differences in the bourgeois epoch, revealing in the relationship between the common and the universal a political gap at the heart of the universal itself.

Download or read book Montaigne and Bayle written by Craig B. Brush and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is traditional in the literature on Pierre Bayle to make some refer ene e to iVlontaigne as one of the masters of skepticism in whose tracks he follows, albeit hardly so eloselyas Charron had. Time and again critics feel the need to mention Montaigne and Bayle in the same context, sometimes to contrast their brands of Pyrrhonism, more often to explain similarities in their ideas and methods, which have frequent ly been regarded as important steps in the gradual evolution of un Christian, even anti-Christian, thought. Their names were already associated during Bayle's life, for example, in the mediocre work by Dom Alexis Gaudin, La Distinction et la Nature du Bien et du MaI, Traite ou l'on combat l'erreur des Manicheens, les sentimens de Jvfontaigne & de Charron, & ceux de J. Vfonsieur Bayle. In the nineteen th century, the author of the Dictionnaire historique et critique wa~ generally elassified as a skeptic; and his name was inevi tably linked with the essayist's. In his Port-Royal, Sainte-Beuve pictured Bayle as one of the avowed skeptics in Montaigne's funeral cortege and spoke of both men as "d'autant pIus fourbes qu'ils ne le sont pas toujours." His later works show that he revised his opinion on each somewhat, l but in this he was unusual for his century.

Download or read book Rethinking Natural Law written by Paulo Ferreira da Cunha and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-14 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, natural law was the main philosophical legal paradigm. Now, it is a wonder when a court of law invokes it. Arthur Kaufmann already underlined a modern general "horror iuris naturalis". We also know, with Winfried Hassemer, that the succession of legal paradigms is a matter of fashion. But why did natural law become outdated? Are there any remnants of it still alive today? This book analyses a number of prejudices and myths that have created a general misconception of natural law. As Jean-Marc Trigeaud put it: there is a natural law that positivists invented. Not the real one(s). It seeks to understand not only the usual adversaries of natural law (like legalists, positivists and historicists) but also its further enemies, the inner enemies of natural law, such as internal aporias, political and ideological manipulations, etc. The book puts forward a reasoned and balanced examination of this treasure of western political and juridical though. And, if we look at it another way, natural law is by no means a loser in our times: because it lives in modern human rights.

Download or read book Jacques Derrida and the Institution of French Philosophy written by Vivienne Orchard and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Jacques Derrida (1930-2004) was unquestionably one of the most celebrated and reviled French thinkers of the last thirty years. Outside France his influence in comparative literature circles, through deconstruction and other ideas, has been so profound that his personal role as a leader of contemporary French philosophy has been almost overlooked. Perhaps because there is no equivalent in English-speaking countries to the timetabling of philosophy in the French education system, writers on Derrida outside France have not fully appreciated the importance of this political and cultural struggle. In this ground-breaking book, Orchard examines a hard-fought debate of great importance not only to Derrida himself, but also to France's idea of what studying 'philosophy' might mean after the student uprisings of 1968."
