  • Michel Fattal, Du Logos De Plotin Au Logos De Saint Jean
    MICHEL FATTAL, DU LOGOS DE PLOTIN AU LOGOS DE SAINT JEAN. VERS LA SOLUTION D’un PROBLÈME MÉTAPHYSIQUE? PARIS, LES ÉDITIONS DU CERF, 2016, 150 PP., ISBN 9782204109673. Reviewed by Pedro Paulo A. Funari University of Campinas – Unicamp Michel Fattal is a well-known philosopher, a specialist on logos from the Pre-Socratics to the mediaeval period, passing through Plato, Aristotle, and the Stoics and beyond. He puts together classical philosophy and Christian epistemology in innovative ways, as is the case in his new volume on Logos in Plotinus and in Saint John. The book gathers a series of lectures, starting with a keynote speech, or lectio magistralis, at Rome in April 2011, followed by several others. Fattal lectured on a related topic in Brasília, 2016, at a Archai Unesco Chair meeting. Fattal started to explore Logos in ancient Greek taught as early as 1977 and continued doing so in his PhD dissertation (1980) and Pedro Paulo A. Funari Habilitation (2001), publishing overall 19 books and dozens of papers and chapters. This volume is the 17th in a series on the Logos, and it deals with the relational logos in both Plotinus and Saint John, particularly the relationship of the sensible and possible to understand, earth and heaven, humans and God. Logos as a philosophical concept implies putting together (function rassemblante et unifiante). Legein derives from the root *leg-, meaning putting together and choosing. Logos thus means relating, and so speaking, a discourse as composition (sunthesis). Parmenides considers the Logos as the critical reason, capable of splitting up being and non-being, what is true and what is false, krinai logo, to judge or split up by reason (Parmenides B7, 5D-K).

  • Plotinus' Epistemology and His Reading of the Theaetetus
    Plotinus' epistemology and his reading of the Theaetetus Sara Magrin Department of Philosophy McGill University, Montreal July 2009 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Copyright Sara Magrin 2009 Abstract: Plotinus' epistemology and his reading of the Theaetetus The thesis offers a reconstruction of Plotinus’ reading of the Theaetetus, and it presents an account of his epistemology that rests on that reading. It aims to show that Plotinus reads the Theaetetus as containing two anti-sceptical arguments. The first argument is an answer to radical scepticism, namely, to the thesis that nothing is apprehensible and judgement must be suspended on all matters. The second argument is an answer to a more moderate form of scepticism, which does not endorse a universal suspension of judgement, but maintains nonetheless that scientific knowledge is unattainable. The first chapter opens with a reconstruction of Plotinus’ reading of Theaet., 151e-184a, where Socrates examines the thesis that knowledge is sensation in light of Protagoras’ epistemology. In this chapter it is argued that Plotinus makes a polemical use of the discussion of Protagoras’ epistemology. Plotinus takes Plato to show that Protagoras’ views imply radical scepticism; and he attack the Stoics’ epistemological and ontological commitments by arguing that they imply Protagoras’ views, and thus lead to radical scepticism, too. The second chapter examines Plotinus’ interpretation of the ontology of the Timaeus. In Theaet., 151e-184a Plato shows that Protagoras’ epistemology leads to radical scepticism by arguing that it implies an allegedly Heracleitean conception of the sensible world.

  • There's Always The
    Peter VanNuffelen There’sAlwaysthe Sun Metaphysics and Antiquarianism in Macrobius Abstract: The present paper asks how Macrobius thinks his extensive allegories of statues of the gods and other elements of traditional religion are possible. He can be shown to espouse aNeoplatonic theory of images. This entails that truthful im- ages are onlypossible of the Soul and the lower levels of the world, whereas the two highest hypostases cannot be graspedbylanguageand man-made images. Even so, as the sun is an imageofthe highest principle, Macrobius’ reduction of all deities to the sun can be understood as adiscourse on the highest deity,albeit obliquely. How are images, then, truthful?Hedefends acommon theory of inspira- tion, accordingtowhich the creators of images participate in the Logoswhencreat- ing them. Philosophyisseen as the primordial discipline, containingthe knowledge necessary to create and interpret images. These conclusions allow us to pinpoint more preciselythe differences between Middle and Neoplatonism. How does one justify the use of man-made images of the divine if one posits asu- preme divine being that is beyond languageand discursive knowledge?More precise- ly:onwhat conditions can aNeoplatonist presume thatatraditionalcult imageof, say, Saturn, represents metaphysical truths?That myths, ceremonies, and cult im- ages could be interpreted as containing knowledge about the world is awell- known fact: allegoricalinterpretations are prominent in the Stoic and Platonist tra- dition.Ifscholars have often asked the question of what precise technique of allego- ry wasapplied to understand poetry,myth, and cult as philosophy, the question of how the sheer possibility of such an exercise was explained has onlyrecentlystarted to draw attention.

Hankey in Levinas and the Greek Heritage, by Jean-Marc Narbonne (pages 1-96), followed by One Hundred Years of Neoplatonism in France: A Brief Philosophical History, by Wayne Hankey (pages 97-248), Studies in Philosophical Theology (Leuven/Paris/Dudley, MA: Peeters, 2006) ISBN-10 90-429-1766-0 & ISBN-13 9789042917668. 2 Preface to the English Edition, Acknowledgements, and Dedication This essay has its origins more than twenty-five years ago, when I was working on what would become my God in Himself , a study of Aquinas’ doctrine of God. I desired to understand the reasons for a reversal I was discovering, one which enabled my particular treatment of St Thomas. It had become apparent to me that the “Aristotelian-Thomist philosophy” had largely given way within the French Catholic Church to more Platonic forms of philosophy, theology, and spirituality and that Aquinas had now been relocated within these. My quest spanning decades has been assisted by many who have passed, we may hope, to a far better reward than words of mine can bestow. I remember them all with joy and gratitude, but a memorial of one must be erected here: the sine qua non of my life in Paris was the never failing hospitality, friendship, learning, and the enthusiasm for the inquiry of which this book is the fruit of Bruno Charles Neveu. That he died while Cent ans was in press and was not able to see it added to my sorrow at his departure, a grief shared by the enormous flock of the scholars whom he supported and promoted so generously.
