  • HNRS 2030 — Humanities Colloquium: Aristotle and Aquinas on Nature and Justice
    “It has been well said of Aristotle, ‘Solet Aristoteles quaerere pugnam’; ‘Aristotle has a habit of seeking a fight.’ He is seeking a fight not because he loves fight and enmity but because he loves peace and friendship; but true peace and friendship can only be found in the truth.” Leo Strauss1 “It will not be possible to conceal much longer from anybody the fact that St. Thomas Aquinas was one of the great liberators of the human intellect…. Thomas was a very great man who reconciled religion with reason, who expanded it towards experimental science, who insisted that the senses were the windows of the soul and that the reason had a divine right to feed upon facts, and that it was the business of the Faith to digest the strong meat of the toughest and most practical of pagan philosophies” G.K. Chesterton2 HONORS 2030: Humanities Colloquium Aristotle and Aquinas: On Nature and Justice Spring 2019 Through study of the writings of Aristotle and Aquinas, we will seek to understand what nature is and how it can be known, and then to consider the implications for understanding human nature and the question of how to live a good life, individually and in community with others. Attending to the influence of modern science as well as to the rise of modern society, we will ask what is living and true in the philosophy of Aristotle and Aquinas, respectively, and what has been superseded by modern discoveries.

  • University at Buffalo Department of Philosophy Nousletter Interview with Jorge Gracia
    University at Buffalo Department of Philosophy Nousletter Interview with Jorge Gracia Jorge Gracia is a polymath. He works in metaphysics/ontology, philosophical historiography, philosophy of language/hermeneutics, ethnicity/race/nationality issues, Hispanic/Latino issues, medieval/scholastic philosophy, Cuban and Argentinian art, and Borges. Gracia’s earliest work was in medieval philosophy. His more than three decades of contributions to medieval philosophy were recently recognized by his being named the winner of the most prestigious award in the field in 2011, the American Catholic Philosophical Association’s Aquinas Medal. That put him in the ranks of Jacques Maritain, Etienne Gilson, Bernard Lonergan, Joseph Owens, G. E. M. Anscombe, Peter Geach, Michael Dummett, John Finnis, Brian Davies, Anthony Kenny, Alisdair McIntyre and one Pope, Karol Wojtyla, and now one saint. Even after Gracia redirected some of his intellectual energies into other branches of philosophy, UB was still being ranked by the Philosophical Gourmet Report (PGR) as one of the best schools in medieval philosophy: 13th in 2006 and in the 15-20 range in 2008. If there were PGR rankings for Latin American philosophy or the philosophy of race and ethnicity, Jorge Gracia’s work would have enabled us to be highly ranked in those fields, higher, I suspect, than UB is in any other philosophical specialization. In the 2010 Blackwell Companion to Latin American Philosophy, Gracia was listed as one of the 40 most important figures in Latin American philosophy since the year 1500! Gracia is also one of the leaders in the emerging field of the philosophy of race and ethnicity.

Farrell University of New Hampshire Much of the scholarship on Augustine’s Confessions has consigned the discipline of rhetoric to the margins. Rhetoric was Augustine’s “major” in school, and his bread and bacon as a young adult. But in turning to God in the garden at Milan, Augustine also turned away from his profession. Rightly so, the accomplishment of Augustine’s conversion is viewed as a positive development. But the conversion story also structures the whole narrative of the Confessions and thus rhetoric is implicated in that narrative. It is the story of “Latin rhetorician turned Christian bishop.”1 Augustine’s intellectual and disciplinary evolution is mapped over a story of spiritual ascent.

Contact: [email protected] PROVOST’S LECTURE / Spring 2017 / 2nd version/ March 6, 2017 “What is Philosophy?” / H. Ruttenberg I. Breadth and Depth: Ancient and Modern Examples Philosophy has been defined by Richard McKeon as the activity of “pushing any question to an extreme.” This definition indicates the breadth of philosophy, because it is concerned with any question, and the depth of philosophy, because it pushes question to an extreme. Knowledge of what is broadest and deepest has been called “wisdom”. Socrates’ distinction between human and divine wisdom made it love of wisdom, philosophia. Almost any university catalogue lists courses in the philosophy of just about every subject matter as well as courses that are about every or nearly every subject matter: since they all have subjects, seek knowledge, such as metaphysics, epistemology, logic, and the philosophy of language. But the list of arts and sciences and their organization are not hard, unchanging facts. Since any question leads to philosophy, every subject can be the source of first philosophy, the architectonic art by which other arts are defined. The history of philosophy is a history inspired by new developments in arts and sciences from mathematics to rhetoric that give rise to new philosophical reflection and new answers to fundamental questions.

  • The History of Philosophy Conceived As a Struggle Between Nominalism and Realism*
    The history of philosophy conceived as a struggle between nominalism and realism* CORNELIS DE WAAL Abstract In this article I trace some of the main tenets of the struggle between nom- inalism and realism as identified by John Deely in his Four ages of under- standing. The aim is to assess Deely’s claim that the Age of Modernity was nominalist and that the coming age, the Age of Postmodernism — which he portrays as a renaissance of the late middle ages and as starting with Peirce — is realist. After a general overview of how Peirce interpreted the nominalist-realist controversy, Deely gives special attention to Thomas Aquinas’s On being and essence and the realism it entails. A subsequent discussion of the Modern Period shows that the issue of nominalism and re- alism is very much tied up with di¤erent conceptions of the intellect. Deely credits the theory of evolution with bringing us a conception of the intellect that is closer to that of the Middle Ages and that opens the way for a truly realistic ‘‘fourth age’’ of the understanding. Keywords: Aquinas; Deely; nominalism; Peirce; postmodernism; realism. Santayana certainly was on to something when he wrote that those who are ignorant of history are bound to repeat it, but something else is true too. Those who know history tend to repeat it as well. Whereas the former risk unknowingly rehearsing history’s well-documented mistakes, the latter risk uncritically embracing its self-proclaimed suc- cesses. One of these successes is the triumph of the moderns over the schoolmen, a feat still celebrated in books on the history of philosophy by banishing medieval thought toward the dimly lit outskirts of history.

MEDIEVAL THEORIES OF NATURAL LAW: WILLIAM OF OCKHAM AND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE VOLUNTARIST TRADITION Francis Oakley THE BELIEF in a natural law superior to mere positive enactment and the practice of appealing to it were common to the vast majority of medieval political thinkers'-whether civil lawyers or philosophers, canon lawyers or theologians; and, all too often, it has been assumed that when they invoked the natural law, they meant much the same thing by it. It takes, indeed, little more than a superficial glance to discover that the civil or canon lawyers often meant by natural law something rather different than did the philoso- phers or theologians, but it takes perhaps a closer look to detect that not even the theologians themselves were in full agreement in their theories of natural

    Shorris, E. (2004, June). Ignoble liars: Leo Strauss, George Bush, and the philosophy of mass deception. Harper’s Magazine. 65-71. President Bush's advocacy of "regime change"—which avoids the pitfalls of a wishful global universalism on the one hand, and a fatalistic cultural determinism on the other—is a not altogether unworthy product of Strauss's rehabilitation of the notion of regime. —William Kristol and Steven Lenzner In the 1950s, inside the University of Chicago, then the most left-wing university in the United States, hidden somewhere among the graduate divisions, the accidental father of the worst in American politics taught Plato and Montesquieu, Spinoza, Machiavelli, and Hobbes. Leo Strauss arrived at Chicago when the hard sciences were in their ascendance there, not many years after the first nuclear chain reaction was created under the old West Stands of the abandoned football field. The newcomer was outgunned by the big-time Aristotelians, such as Richard McKeon, and despised by the doyenne of citizenship, Hannah Arendt. If Strauss and the logician Albert Wohlstetter, who was responsible for the Cold War theory of mutually assured destruction, knew each other at all, it was to nod in passing. Strauss and the social scientists found each other unbearable, for he disagreed with Max Weber, and the sociologists hated him for it. In worldly things Strauss suffered from arrogance and timidity, partly the result of the Platonist's anxiety: the fear that, like Socrates, he would be put to death for being a philosopher. Yet Strauss, with his endowed chair, more than stood his ground on a campus where Aristotle held sway.
