Download or read book M taphysique d Ibn Gabirol et de la tradition platonicienne written by Fernand Brunner and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-28 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early in his career, Fernand Brunner became one of the few specialists on Ibn Gabirol, a Jewish philosopher and poet in 11th-century Spain, whose treatise, the Fons vitae, is known only in Latin translation. Brunner showed the coherence of this rarely studied version of Platonism and traced its impact on the scholastic philosophy of the succeeding centuries. His work was guided by a systematic interest in Platonic solutions to such problems as the relations of matter and form, and of God to the world. This volume includes a number of previously unpublished papers, several of which also provide broad expositions of a Platonic ontology. The author makes his reader aware that arguments as well as images must be taken seriously in the attempt to approach the Platonic tradition. Dès le début de sa carrière, Fernand Brunner est rapidement devenu l’un des rares spécialistes d’Ibn Gabirol, le poète philosophe juif espagnol du 11e siècle - dont le traité, le Fons vitæ, n’est connu qu’en version latine. Guidé dans ses recherches par un intérêt systématique pour les solutions platoniciennes aux problèmes des rapports entre la forme et la matière, et entre Dieu et le monde, Brunner a démontré la cohérence de cette interprétation rarement étudiée du platonisme et en a retracé l’effet sur la philosophie scolastique des siècles suivants. Ce volume comprend plusieurs exposés inédits traitant de l’ontologie platonicienne dont la compréhension, selon Brunner, est essentielle à tout historien de la philosophie. L’auteur fait prendre conscience à ses lecteurs de l’importance des arguments, tout comme des métaphores, dans toute tentative d’approche de la tradition platonique.
Download or read book Form and Transformation written by Frederic M. Schroeder and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1992-04-13 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Platonic Form is often presented as an instrument of explanation and as a cause in ontology, epistemology, and ethics. As such, it is usually approached from the perspective of its relations to the particulars of the sensible world. Frederic Schroeder contends that Plotinus argues for the sovereignty of the Platonic Form both as a ground of being and as an intrinsically valuable object of intellective and spiritual vision. These two aspects coalesce in the thought of Plotinus, for whom the Form is, apart from its philosophical uses, an object of enjoyment. Schroeder argues also that the particular must be seen as having an intrinsic character, distinct from its relationship to the Form or to other particulars. The particular thus becomes a window on the world of Form. In the course of his exploration of the sovereignty of Form, Schroeder examines the themes of illumination, silence, language, and love. He undertakes an immanent interpretation of the Plotinian text, showing how Plotinian vocabulary displays intricate internal connections and genetic relationships. Schroeder shows that Plotinus' thought is not susceptible to organization into a closed, linear synthesis but has its own order, centred on the conviction that Form is of intrinsic value and that it is only from the perspective of this intrinsic value that we can understand its uses and significance in explanation and causation. Rather than trying to construct such a synthesis, Schroeder, starting from this basic insight into Plotinus' understanding of the Platonic Form, leads the reader to a greater understanding of Plotinus' manner of philosophizing.
Download or read book Life written by M. Kronegger and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her Introduction, Tymieniecka states the core theme of the present book sharply: Is culture an excess of nature's prodigious expansiveness - an excess which might turn out to be dangerous for nature itself if it goes too far - or is culture a 'natural', congenial prolongation of nature-life? If the latter, then culture is assimilated into nature and thus would lose its claim to autonomy: its criteria would be superseded by those of nature alone. Of course, nature and culture may both still be seen as being absorbed by the inner powers of specifically human inwardness, on which view, human being, caught in its own transcendence, becomes separated radically in kind from the rest of existence and may not touch even the shadow of reality except through its own prism. Excess, therefore, or prolongation? And on what terms? The relationship between culture and nature in its technical phase demands a new elucidation. Here this is pursued by excavating the root significance of the 'multiple rationalities' of life. In contrast to Husserl, who differentiated living types according to their degree of participation in the world, the phenomenology of life disentangles living types from within the ontopoietic web of life itself. The human creative act reveals itself as the Great Divide of the Logos of Life - a divide that does not separate but harmonizes, thus dispelling both naturalistic and spiritualistic reductionism.

Download or read book Ce d sir d infini bonheur written by Benoît Antoine Dumas and published by Le Lys Bleu Éditions. This book was released on 2021-11-19 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nous sommes ouverts, nous aspirons même, à un bonheur infini et impérissable. Cet élan nous traverse par éclairs ou nous soulève durablement : lorsque nous ressentons des moments de plénitude qui nous donnent à entrevoir et espérer l’Absolu. Ou, à l’inverse, lorsque les maux et malheurs des hommes sont tellement inacceptables et révoltants qu’on éprouve l’impérieuse nécessité de rebondir dans l’espoir d’un autre monde lumineux, entièrement libéré du mal. Cependant, pour atteindre ces buts gratifiants, il faudrait que nous fussions vivants pour toujours dans un au-delà qui nous échappe, capables de traverser victorieusement notre triste et inéluctable condition mortelle. Question : sommes-nous donc des êtres contradictoires et apparemment mal fagotés, par constitution ? Avides d’un bonheur complet et définitif qui nous rassasie entièrement, mais en dépit de cette soif, des êtres limités et mortels dont le destin clos est de disparaître inexorablement ? Deux solutions : consentir à notre finitude irrémédiable et sans issue, attitude de démission résignée ou stoïque, souvent influencée par le positivisme et le scientisme ambiant. Ou bien, nous laisser emporter par la puissance des désirs immenses qui nous visitent et réjouissent l’esprit et le cœur. Bien des personnes authentiquement religieuses accèdent spontanément à cette voie. Le choix ici proposé, de façon laïque, de la deuxième solution, n’est pas un doux rêve compensatoire et inconsistant : il prend appui sur une vision d’anthropologie métaphysique et morale – aujourd’hui largement ignorée ou rejetée – philosophiquement rigoureuse et bien outillée. À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Benoît Antoine Dumas se fait l’écho de l’anthropologie réaliste de Saint Thomas d’Aquin, d’Aristote et autres penseurs dont il a reçu l’enseignement, et qu’il s’efforce d’actualiser, lui donnant une facture littéraire attrayante ; et moderne, à l’épreuve de redoutables questions. Cette montée vers un Bien et un bonheur infinis sont le lot de l’âme humaine spirituelle. L’auteur se situe dans ce courant, universellement représenté, d’un dépassement transcendant.

Download or read book Aristotle s Metaphysics Lambda written by Stefan Alexandru and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-09-04 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this annotated critical edition of Aristotle’s Metaphysics Lambda Stefan Alexandru explores and utilizes for the first time numerous previously neglected textual sources, written in Greek, Latin, Arabic, and Hebrew. The twelfth book of the Metaphysics, originally an independent treatise, is crucial for the understanding of Aristotle’s philosophy, primarily because the doctrine of the Unmoved Mover is nowhere else set forth in greater detail. Not only all the forty-two formerly known Greek codices have been collated, but also commentaries and translations. Moreover, a hitherto undiscovered, independent manuscript, representing a tenuous and particularly valuable branch of the direct tradition, is minutely investigated. The document in question, preserved in the Vatican, is an autograph of the Byzantine humanist and Ecumenical Patriarch Gennadios II Scholarios.

Download or read book Alexander of Aphrodisias and the Text of Aristotle s Metaphysics written by Mirjam Kotwick and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexander of Aphrodisias's commentary (about AD 200) is the earliest extant commentary on Aristotle's Metaphysics and the most important indirect witness to the Metaphysics text. In this study, Mirjam Kotwick demonstrates how to reconstruct from Alexander's commentary the Metaphysics text Alexander used and how to make use of this ancient version of the Metaphysics for improving the text of our direct manuscript tradition. Moreover, Kotwick investigates how Alexander's commentary may have influenced the transmission of the Metaphysics at various stages. Kotwick's study is the first book-length examination of a commentary as a witness to an ancient philosophical text. This blend of textual criticism and philosophical analysis both expands on existing methodologies in classical scholarship and develops new ones.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike most of the other great philosophers Leibniz never wrote a magnum opus, so his philosophical correspondence is essential for an understanding of his views.

It both illuminates Leibniz's philosophical views and pays due attention to the dialectical context in which the relevant passages from the letters occur. The result is a book of enormous value to all serious students of early-modern philosophy and the history of ideas.
