This book was released on 2020-01-31 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trois ouvrages en un. Le Livre de la Hiérarchie Céleste - La Théologie Mystique - Lettres de Denys. Dans ce traité sont exposés les buts de la Hiérarchie Céleste, et quelle subordination elle réclame; il sera montré comment sa beauté consiste dans l'imitation de la Divinité, et de quelle manière elle remplit le triple ministère de purifier, d'illuminer et de perfectionner. On explique les devoirs respectifs des êtres Célestes, des Anges et Archanges et de tout ceux qui en sont les ministres et les sujets de cette purification, de cette illumination et de cette perfection. La théologie chrétienne nomme hiérarchie céleste la suite des entités angéliques, dans un ordre décroissant, qui va du Dieu créateur et supérieur, jusqu'aux êtres inférieurs, hommes et démons. La plus célèbre hiérarchie céleste revient à Saint Denys l'Aréopagite (circa 490) dans cette oeuvre que nous vous présentons.

Book excerpt: Se fondant sur les témoignages des prophètes sur les natures angéliques, Denys expose comment l’Écriture dépeint les pures intelligences sous des images matérielles «pour nous faire passer du corps à l’esprit et des pieux symboles à la sublimité des pures essences». Goûter un peu de miel vaut mieux que de raisonner longuement pour en comprendre la douceur: de même c’est par l’expérience que l’on est initié à la fréquentation des hiérarchies angéliques ou à la théologie mystique, qui est une connaissance savoureuse de Dieu. C’est ce qu’enseigne saint Denys, quand il dit de Hiérothée qu’il connaissait les choses divines non seulement par l’enseignement des apôtres, mais aussi par ce qu’il en avait expérimenté. Il écrit aussi: «La théologie mystique est la science expérimentale des choses divines. En elle-même et dans ses moyens elle est surnaturelle; car ce n’est pas l’homme qui, de sa force propre, peut atteindre le sanctuaire de l’inaccessible Divinité: c’est dieu, source de sagesse et de vie, qui laisse tomber sur l’homme les rayons de la vérité.» Fondateur de la théologie apophatique (qui célèbre la puissance et les vertus de la négation, contrairement à la voie de l’affirmation: kataphatikê), Denys de l’Aréopage se rencontre avec les plus éminents mystiques. Jean de la Croix lui rendra ainsi hommage: «Cette nuit obscure est une influence de Dieu en l’âme [...] influence que les contemplatifs appellent contemplation infuse ou théologie mystique. [...] C’est Dieu qui fait les principaux effets en l’âme; en la purgeant et en l’illuminant, elle la dispose pour l’union d’amour avec Dieu. [...] C’est pourquoi saint Denys (san Dionisio) et d’autres théologiens mystiques appellent cette contemplation infuse: rayon de ténèbre [...] parce que sa grande lumière surnaturelle réussit à vaincre la force intellective naturelle.» Si l’on ajoute foi aux propos de l’auteur des Lettres, Denys est un disciple de Paul et un ami de Jean qui fut présent aux funérailles de la Vierge Marie. D’après la tradition, Denys l’Athénien et le premier évêque de Paris sont un seul et même homme: «Paul étant venu à Athènes, Denys se convertit. Paul le baptisa et l’institua évêque d’Athènes. Plus tard, Denys reçut du pape Clément la mission d’aller prêcher l’Évangile en Gaule et pénétra jusqu’à Lutèce, ville des Parisii.» Après plusieurs arrestations et supplices, il sera décapité, en compagnie du prêtre Rustique et du diacre Éleuthère sous l’empereur Domitien et le préfet Fescinnius, le jour des nones d’octobre, l’an 96, sur la colline de Montmartre (Mons Martyrorum), et enseveli à Saint-Denis. L’identité véritable de l’auteur de ces œuvres demeure une énigme.
Download or read book Le Livre de La Hierarchie Celeste written by Denys L'Areopagite and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-09-12 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le Pseudo-Denys l'Aréopagite est l'auteur de traités chrétiens de théologie mystique, en grec. Il est l'une des sources majeures de la spiritualité chrétienne. C'était probablement un moine syrien qui a vécu vers l'an 500. D'inspiration néo-platonicienne, il est influencé par les écrits de Proclos, auxquels il fait de larges emprunts ; il a aussi été influencé par l'école chrétienne d'Alexandrie (Origène, Clément d'Alexandrie) et par Grégoire de Nysse. Selon le Livre des actes des apôtres, Denys l'Aréopagite était un Athénien faisant partie des philosophes qui écoutèrent la prédication de Paul (Actes, 17:34). L'auteur des oeuvres mystiques attribuées à Denys l'Aréopagite ne peut pas avoir été cet Athénien du Ier siècle, mais l'attribution pseudépigraphique de ces traités à ce philosophe converti par Paul permettait de les présenter comme des oeuvres à la fois chrétiennes et philosophiques. La théologie chrétienne appelle hiérarchie céleste la suite des entités angéliques, dans un ordre qui va du supérieur (après Dieu) jusqu'à l'inférieur (avant les hommes, les démons). La plus célèbre hiérarchie céleste revient au Pseudo-Denys l'Aréopagite (vers 490), dans sa Hiérarchie céleste. Il la met en correspondances avec la hiérarchie des moines.

Download or read book Yorick s World written by Peter Caws and published by University of California Presson Demand. This book was released on 1993 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "These essays are the work of a genial, literate mind exploring a wide range of issues mainly centered on the philosophy of science and epistemology, but including considerations of literature, language, and social practice. Caws's work, in general, represents an independent and alternative current in the philosophy of science, one which is informed by a broader conception of scientific thought and activity than are the usual approaches of either the traditional logical-empiricists or the more recent post-positivists. And he has a knack for deflating the latest fashionable claims early in the game, even before fashion has set in."--Marx Wartofsky, Editor, "The Philosophical Forum"
Download or read book Theological Incorrectness written by Jason Slone and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-12-03 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do religious people believe what they shouldn't -- not what others think they shouldn't believe, but things that don't accord with their own avowed religious beliefs? D. Jason Slone terms this phenomenon "theological incorrectness." He argues that it exists because the mind is built in such a way that it's natural for us to think divergent thoughts simultaneously. Human minds are great at coming up with innovative ideas that help them make sense of the world, he says, but those ideas do not always jibe with official religious beliefs. From this fact we derive the important lesson that what we learn from our environment -- religious ideas, for example -- does not necessarily cause us to behave in ways consistent with that knowledge. Slone presents the latest discoveries from the cognitive science of religion and shows how they help us to understand exactly why it is that religious people do and think things that they shouldn't.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The papers collected in this volume shift the focus away from "heretics" and "heresy" to heresiological discourse, by contextualizing the late antique Jewish and Christian groups that produced our extant literature. The contributors to the volume draw from multiple literary corpora and genres, bringing a variety of late antique perspective to explore the discursive construction of the Other. They unravel ethnic identities, and re-create the multiple voices textured in the dialogue between the "orthodox" and "heretical" writers."--BOOK JACKET.

David G. Hunter examines early Christian views on marriage and celibacy in the first three centuries and the development of an anti-heretical tradition. He provides a thorough analysis of the responses of Jovinian's main opponents, including Pope Siricius, Ambrose, Jerome, Pelagius, and Augustine. In the course of his discussion Hunter sheds new light on the origins of Christian asceticism, the rise of clerical celibacy, the development of Marian doctrine, and the formation of 'orthodoxy' and 'heresy' in early Christianity.
