oracular divination in the thought of Plutarch
An in-depth analysis of oracular divination in Plutarch's thought. Oracular divination was of special concern for Plutarch of Chaeronea (45-120 AD), Platonic philosopher as well as priest at the oracle of Apollo in Delphi. The peculiar nature of Delphic divination as an (im)perfect intermediary between the material and the immaterial world is fathomed in a thorough study of Plutarch's Delphic dialogues. This in-depth philosophical-conceptual analysis will disclose an original interpretation of oracular...

Franco Trabattoni Essays on Plato’s epistemology
An Innovating approach to Plato's philosophy. Through a careful survey of several significant Platonic texts, mainly focussing on the nature of knowledge, Essays on Plato's Epistemology offers the reader a fresh and promising approach to Plato's philosophy as a whole. From the very earliest reception of Plato's philosophy, there has been a conflict between a dogmatic and a sceptical interpretation of his work and thought. Moreover, the two sides are often associated, respectively, with a metaphysical...

Magdalena Bieniak The soul-body problem at Paris, ca. 1200-1250
Hugh of St-Cher and his contemporaries
The soul-body problem was among the most controversial issues discussed in 13th century Europe, and it continues to capture much attention today as the quest to understand human identity becomes more and more urgent. What made the discussion about this problem particularly interesting in the scholastic period was the tension between the traditional dualist doctrines and a growing need to affirm the unity of the human being. This debate is frequently interpreted as a conflict between the 'new' philosophy,...

S.W. de Boer The science of the soul
the commentary tradition on Aristotle's De anima, c. 1260 - c. 1360
The transformation of the science of the soul between 1260 and 1360. Aristotle's highly influential work on the soul, entitled De anima, formed part of the core curriculum of medieval universities and was discussed intensively. It covers a range of topics in philosophical psychology, such as the relationship between mind and body and the nature of abstract thought. However, there is a key difference in scope between the socalled 'science of the soul', based on Aristotle, and modern philosophical...

Juan Carlos Flores Henry of Ghent: metaphysics and the trinity
with a critical edition of question six of article fifty-five of the Summa Quaestionum Ordinariarum
The book elucidates Henry of Ghent's philosophical and theological system with special reference to his trinitarian writings. It demonstrates the fundamental role of the Trinity in Henry's philosophy and theology. It also shows how Henry (d. 1293), the most influential theologian of his day at Paris, developed the Augustinian tradition in seminal ways in response to the Aristotelian tradition, especially Thomas Aquinas (d. 1274).

Petrus Thomae Petri Thomae quaestiones de esse intelligibili
First critical edition of Petrus Thomae's theory of non-causal dependence. This work of Scotist metaphysics is an investigation into the ultimate constitution of things. In the course of this treatise, Petrus Thomae examines whether the essences of things ultimately depend on being thought of by God for their very intelligibility or whether they have it of themselves. Defending in detail the second option, Peter argues that creatures exist independently of the divine intellect in the divine essence....

a study with commentary on quaestiones naturales

By...

Averroes' natural philosophy and its reception in the Latin west
The impact of Averroes' natural philosophy on the history of philosophy and science. Ibn Rushd (1126-1198) or Averroes, is widely known as the unrivalled commentator on virtually all works by Aristotle. His commentaries and treatises were used as manuals for understanding Aristotelian philosophy until the Age of the Enlightenment. Both Averroes and the movement commonly known as 'Latin Averroism' have attracted considerable attention from historians of philosophy and science. Whereas most studies...

Engeland, 1763 Dominee John Newton krijgt van een nieuwgierige vriend het verzoek om zijn levensverhaal te schrijven. In de veertien brieven die Newton aan zijn vriend stuurt, doet hij verslag van zijn avontuurlijke en wonderlijke leven.

Newton vertelt hoe hij als slaaf op een bijna onbewoond eiland woonde, hoe hij werd bevrijd en hoe hij ten slotte door God uit de duisternis tot Zijn wonderbaarlijke...

Alexandra Michalewski La puissance de l'intelligible
la théorie plotinienne des formes au miroir de l'héritage médioplatonicien
La nature des Formes intelligibles d'Antiochus à Plotin. L'ouvrage propose une histoire de l'interprétation de la nature des Formes intelligibles d'Antiochus à Plotin. Il met en lumière l'importance du refus plotinien de l'artificialisme médioplatonicien qui considère les Formes comme des pensées du dieu et subordonne leur causalité à celle du démiurge, fabricant du monde. En considérant les Formes comme des réalités vivantes et intellectives, Plotin bouleverse le sens de la causalité...

Henrico de Gandavo adscripta
