Download or read book The Fragility of Consciousness written by Frederick G. Lawrence and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2017-01-23 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frederick G. Lawrence is the authoritative interpreter of the work of Bernard Lonergan and an incisive reader of twentieth-century continental philosophy and hermeneutics. The Fragility of Consciousness is the first published collection of his essays and contains several of his best known writings as well as unpublished work. The essays in this volume exhibit a long interdisciplinary engagement with the relationship between faith and reason in the context of the crisis of culture that has marked twentieth- and twenty-first century thought and practice. Frederick G. Lawrence, with his profound and generous commitment to the intellectual life of the church, has produced a body of work that engages with Heidegger, Gadamer, Habermas, Ricoeur, Strauss, Voegelin, and Benedict XVI among others. These essays also explore various themes such as the role of religion in a secular age, political theology, economics, neo-Thomism, Christology, and much more. In an age marked by social, cultural, political, and ecclesial fragmentation, Lawrence models a more generous way – one that prioritizes friendship, conversation, and understanding above all else.

Download or read book Hermeneutic Rationality written by Maria Luísa Portocarrero and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2012 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem of the limits of reason is by no means a privileged subject of an academic discourse. By reducing reality to what can be conceived of within the paradigms of the scientific laboratory, manipulative despotism, which positivistic notion of objectivism has established, creates in a human being a unilateral conscience of the world and of oneself; a conscience that dominates today our understanding of existence in its manifold senses of Being and the world we live in. This way of thinking, based on a powerful and skillful technique aimed at controlling human life in all its dimensions, intends to impose this limiting positivistic horizon on human beings in the name of Liberte, Egalite, and Fraternite. Hermeneutic rationality resists the claims of modern science and promotes the culture of hospitality toward the world as it shows itself in its complexity.

Download or read book Selected Philosophical Poems of Tommaso Campanella written by Tommaso Campanella and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2011-03-30 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A contemporary of Giordano Bruno and Galileo, Tommaso Campanella (1568–1639) was a controversial philosopher, theologian, astrologer, and poet who was persecuted during the Inquisition and spent much of his adult life imprisoned because of his heterodox views. He is best known today for two works: The City of the Sun, a dialogue inspired by Plato’s Republic, in which he prophesies a vision of a unified, peaceful world governed by a theocratic monarchy; and his well-meaning Defense of Galileo, which may have done Galileo more harm than good because of Campanella’s previous conviction for heresy. But Campanella’s philosophical poems are where his most forceful and undiluted ideas reside. His poetry is where his faith in observable and experimental sciences, his astrological and occult wisdom, his ideas about deism, his anti-Aristotelianism, and his calls for religious and secular reform most put him at odds with both civil and church authorities. For this volume, Sherry Roush has selected Campanella’s best and most idiosyncratic poems, which are masterpieces of sixteenth-century Italian lyrics, displaying a questing mind of great, if unorthodox, brilliance, and showing Campanella’s passionate belief in the intrinsic harmony between the sacred and secular.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La ricerca dottorale sul fondo dell'anima in S. Agostino proposta dal P. Bernard Lonergan SJ fu cosi formulata: Il soggetto psicologico in quanto costituito dalla coscienza di se. L'autore riscopre la costitutiva struttura dell'autocoscienza o della consapevolezza dentro alle operazioni intenzionali del soggetto personale umano, interpretata dalla imago Dei in mente e in modo piu preciso dall'immagine del silenzio del Padre che dice verbo vero nell'amore santo. In una prima parte prevalentemente analitica vengono superate dalla struttura operante - anche da testi extratrinitari - dell'io, le classiche e ricorrenti difficolta del dubbio, dell'errore, del peccato che, se deformano, in fondo non distruggono il soggetto spirituale e immortale. In una seconda viene formulata la consapevolezza di se nel soggetto umano pensante, la quale risulta come notizia previa ed informe che si accompagna agli atti come presenza interiore dell'anima: altro e autocoscienza altro e autoconoscenza. Si tratta di quella costitutiva dimensione trascendentale che supera ante litteram ogni immanentismo, segnatamente idealistico, nella vivente apertura alla trascendenza del soggetto spirituale che si afferma nella verita e nell'amore dell'uomo e di Dio, Uno e Trino, rivelato in Cristo che riforma l'immagine dell'uomo.

Download or read book Cognitio Dei Experimentalis written by Hans Geybels and published by Peeters. This book was released on 2007 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How and why theological discourse uses religious experience? What kind of reflection was there about religious experience in the past? At what point during the history of Christianity did religious experience become an important epistemological category? What paradigm changes were at the basis of the diverse interpretations of religious experience? These are some of the questions addressed in this volume, a theological history of ideas, about the historical development of the meaning of religious experience and how it evolves from a mode of knowing to an object for knowledge. In general, during Antiquity and the Middle Ages, theology creates experience, and in certain modern and post-modern currents, experience creates theology: an end becomes a means. With regard to Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and Modernity, the author examines what is meant by religious experience and drafts the evolution of an intellectualistic concept that changes into an emotionally charged concept. Two research questions however recur: what do the different writers, during different periods, mean by religious experience, and what is the object of that experience?

Download or read book Augustine of Hippo written by Virgilio Pacioni and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saint Augustine's philosophy, often only studied in a particular historical context, has once again shown itself to be extraordinarily modern. Virgilio Pacioni, an Augustinian scholar at the Patristic Institute Augustinianum in Rome devoted to this great Father of the Church, takes advantage of two avenues of interpretation to examine Augustine's philosophical thought: an anthropological one benefitting from the innovative analyses of Nello Cipriani (who was initially inspired by the insights of Gerard O'Daly), and a formal, logical one enhanced by the contributions of Michele Malatesta. Cipriani's research has made it possible to take a new look at all the branches of philosophy relating to anthropology - concerning the notion of human nature, the conception of history, and political questions. Malatesta's studies and, in particular, the pioneering articles on the Contra Academicos, have provided the rigorous tools needed to understand logic, especially that of the Stoics, used by the Bishop of Hippo. Thus we have been able to discover that Augustine the rhetorician was also a rigorous master of logic who did not base rational investigation on feeling or improvisation.
