Download or read book The A to Z of Medieval Philosophy and Theology written by Stephen F. Brown and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2010 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Middle Ages is often viewed as a period of low intellectual achievement. The name itself refers to the time between the high philosophical and literary accomplishments of the Greco-Roman world and the technological advances that were achieved and philosophical and theological alternatives that were formulated in the modern world that followed. However, having produced such great philosophers as Anselm, Peter Abelard, John Duns Scotus, William of Ockham, Peter Lombard, and the towering Thomas Aquinas, it hardly seems fair to label the medieval period as such. Examining the influence of ancient Greek philosophy as well as of the Arabian and Hebrew scholars who transmitted it, The A to Z of Medieval Philosophy and Theology presents the philosophy of the Christian West from the 9th to the early 17th century. This is accomplished through a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on the philosophers, concepts, issues, institutions, and events, making this an important reference for the study of the progression of human thought.

Download or read book Reality and Truth in Literature written by Irena Avsenik Nabergoj and published by V&R unipress GmbH. This book was released on 2013 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study provides a critical survey of views on reality and truth in the realm of philosophy and literary theory. Its aim is to show how important it is to focus our critical attention on literature itself as a way of conveying a general view of totality of things, with special attention to human life and death, effort and suffering, success and failure. A work of literature and art does not characterize experience and knowledge as such, but rather the response of concrete characters to the problems of human existence and fate. The monograph deals with pre-modern philosophical reflection on reality and truth, with post-modern ways of representation of reality in myth, history, biography, autobiography and fiction, and with sublime perceptions of beauty, love and forgiveness. The views of the writers show that there are important differences in presenting reality and truth in relation to material and historical facts. But the most important distinction is in dealing with dimensions of true life of human persons in their ineffable feelings and ideas.

Download or read book Richard of St Victor s Theory of Imagination written by Ritva Palmén and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-08-21 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard of St.Victor (d.1173) developed original ideas about the faculty of imagination in a twelfth-century Parisian context. Related to the historical study of philosophical psychology, Richard of St. Victor’s Theory of Imagination acknowledges that the faculty of imagination, being a necessary precondition for human reasoning and a link between soul and body, plays an important role in Richard’s understanding of the human soul. Richard also deals with the interpretation of biblical language, metaphors, rhetoric, and the possibility of creative imagination. Considering all these aspects of the imagination in Richard’s texts improves our understanding of his theological epistemology and sheds new light on the theory of the imagination in the history of medieval philosophy in general.
Download or read book Houses of the Interpreter written by David Lyle Jeffrey and published by Baylor University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Houses of the Interpreter, David Lyle Jeffrey explores the terrain of the cultural history of biblical interpretation. But Jeffrey does not merely rest content to chart biblical scholarship and how it has both influenced and been influenced by culture. Instead, he chooses to focus upon the "art" of Biblical interpretation --how sculptors, musicians, poets, novelists, and painters have "read" the Bible. By so doing, Jeffrey clearly demonstrates that such cultural interpretation has deepened the church's understanding of the Bible as Scripture and that, remarkably, this cultural reading has contributed to theology and the practice of faith. Jeffrey's chapters effectively root the theological issues central to any hermeneutical enterprise (e.g., Scriptural authority, narrative, the Old Testament as Christian Scripture, the role of the reader, gender, and postmodernism) in specific authors and artists (e.g., Chaucer, Bosch, Sir Orfeo, C. S. Lewis) --and he does this in constant conversation with literature, both eastern and western.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Buchreihe Mimesis präsentiert unter ihrem neuen Untertitel Romanische Literaturen der Welt ein innovatives und integrales Verständnis der Romania wie der Romanistik aus literaturwissenschaftlicher und kulturtheoretischer Perspektive. Sie trägt der Tatsache Rechnung, dass die faszinierende Entwicklung der romanischen Literaturen und Kulturen in Europa wie außerhalb Europas neue weltweite Dynamiken in Gang gesetzt hat, welche die großen Traditionen der Romania fortschreiben und auf neue Horizonte hin öffnen. In Mimesis kommt ein transareales, die europäische und die außereuropäische Welt romanischer Literaturen und Kulturen zusammendenkendes Verständnis der Romanistik zur Geltung, das über nationale wie disziplinäre Grenzziehungen hinweg die oft übersehenen Wechselwirkungen zwischen unterschiedlichen Traditions- und Entwicklungslinien in Europa und den Amerikas, in Afrika und Asien entfaltet. Im Archipel der Romanistik zeigt Mimesis auf, wie die dargestellte Wirklichkeit in den romanischen Literaturen der Welt die Tür zu einem vielsprachigen Kosmos verschiedenartiger Logiken öffnet.
Download or read book Europ ische Soziet tsbewegung und demokratische Tradition written by Klaus Garber and published by de Gruyter. This book was released on 1996 with total page 978 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Akademien, Sozietäten und sonstigen gelehrten Vereinigungen waren nicht nur die entscheidenden Agenturen der Akkumulation von Wissen in der Frühen Neuzeit, sondern zugleich vielfältigen kulturpolitischen Aufträgen verpflichtet, die nicht selten in unmittelbare politische Aktionen übergingen, in denen die Handlungsspielräume der vielfach nur locker organisierten Gruppierungen effizient zur Geltung gelangten. Am Modernisierungsprozeß der Frühen Neuzeit sind die Akademien in der Verpflichtung ihrer Mitglieder allein auf sachliche Kompetenz und interkonfessionelle moralische Autorität maßgeblich beteiligt. In symbolischen Interaktionsformen werden quasidemokratische Modelle durchgespielt, die ihre direkte programmatische und politische Einlösung in den bürgerlichen Revolutionen zu Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts erfahren. Das Werk vereinigt vorwiegend Beiträge, die anläßlich der Zweihundertjahrfeier der Französischen Revolution auf einem unter der Schirmherrschaft von Jacques Chirac abgehaltenen internationalen Kongreß 1989 in Paris vorgetragen wurden. Sie werden abgerundet durch ergänzende Studien, die dazu beitragen sollen, dem Charakter des Werkes als eines Handbuchs der europäischen Sozietätsbewegung möglichst nahezukommen, ohne Vollständigkeit in der Erfassung der einschlägigen Institutionen anzustreben. Reichhaltige Literaturangaben, eine umfassende Bibliographie und Register erhöhen den Benutzerwert der für alle historisch-kulturwissenschaftlichen Disziplinen gleich wichtigen gelehrten Sozialisationsagentur der Frühen Neuzeit.

Download or read book Classical Rhetoric in the Middle Ages written by John O. Ward and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-12-24 with total page 724 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classical Rhetoric in the Middle Ages: The Medieval Rhetors and Their Art 400-1300, with Manuscript Survey to 1500 CE is a completely updated version of John Ward’s much-used doctoral thesis of 1972, and is the definitive treatment of this fundamental aspect of medieval and rhetorical culture. It is commonly believed that medieval writers were interested only in Christian truth, not in Graeco-Roman methods of ‘persuasion’ to whatever viewpoint the speaker / writer wanted. Dr Ward, however, investigates the content of well over one thousand medieval manuscripts and shows that medieval writers were fully conscious of and much dependent upon Graeco-Roman rhetorical methods of persuasion. The volume then demonstrates why and to what purpose this use of classical rhetoric took place.
