ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A number of people have spent generous amounts of time and energy to assist in the preparation of this dissertation. Professor Girard J. Etzkorn, the editor of Pecham’s texts, is not listed as a committee member, but he read my manuscript in its early form and made many helpful suggestions. My entire committee worked together thoughtfully, eagerly, and patiently to help me succeed, and each member of the committee contributed unique and valuable guidance. Among other things that each individual did are the following: Professor Wilson has been encouraging of this project. Before a word of the dissertation was written, Professor Sefrin-Weis helped me with Latin and later helped me refine my translations of Pecham. Professor Wallulis helped me structure the project and to creatively consider how the dissertation process could serve me intellectually and professionally. Professor Hackett has spent much of the past three years showing me this project’s potential and pushing me to achieve it. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !iv ! ! ! ABSTRACT The interpretive work of analytic philosophers in the Thomist tradition, such as Anthony Kenny and Robert Pasnau, has been significant not only for historical accounts of medieval thought, but also for contemporary philosophy. It is remarkable that in all of this literature, the great opponent of Aquinas in philosophy and theology, John Pecham (d. 1292), is largely omitted. In this dissertation I will examine two Pecham texts that have not been properly studied to date, and that deal with the issues of the life and mind of the human person. The first text is the Tractatus De Anima. The Tractatus is from the latter part of Pecham’s career, and so stated positions in this work can be treated as his mature views. The second work is the fifth of Pecham’s disputed Quaestiones De Anima 1 David C. Lindberg, “Biographical Sketch,” John Pecham and the Science of Optics, ed. Lindberg (Madison: University of Wisconsin Press, 1970), 5-6; Decima Douie, Archbishop Pecham (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1952), 11. !v (probably 1269-12711), which situates him in the context of debates with Aquinas and Latin Averroism.2 I will show how these two texts support the following thesis: John Pecham’s philosophical anthropology is based on a distinctive, original synthesis of Neoplatonic metaphysics, and is a significant alternative to Aquinas’s anthropology. Proving this thesis to be correct will involve showing that, in his controversy with Aquinas, Pecham was neither insisting on a minor point nor obviously misguided (as has been alleged in contemporary literature), but was rather working to defend and preserve what he considered to be broadly important truth. By providing an interpretation of central texts and showing Pecham’s distinctiveness, I hope to open the question of his significance. I will first describe who Pecham was and what he did. To place Pecham in his historical context, I will discuss a movement, Neo-Augustinianism, in which he was a 2 Modern usage, following Fernand van Steenberghen, suggests the use of “heterodox Aristotelianism” or “radical Aristotelianism” instead of “Latin Averroism” (Thomas Aquinas and Radical Aristotelianism [Washington: Catholic University of America Press, 1980]; Aristotle in the West: The Origins of Latin Aristotelianism [Louvain: E. Nauwelaerts, 1955], 204-208; John F. Wippel, Mediaeval Reactions to the Encounter Between Faith and Reason [Milwaukee: Marquette University Press, 1995], 14; cf. John Marenbon, Late Medieval Philosophy [New York: Routledge, 1987], 73-74). However, I think “Latin Averroism” denotes the movement more clearly. Marenbon writes that Van Steenberghen is “right to stress that the so-called Averroists wished to be Aristotelians, and that they were in many respects distant from Ibn Rushd’s real thought; but the link with Averroes—Ibn Rushd as seen through Latin eyes—is essential to their approach” (“Dante’s Averroism,” Poetry and Philosophy in the Middle Ages: A Festschrift for Peter Dronke, ed. Marenbon [Leiden: Brill, 2001], 353). !vi leader. While it is difficult to determine precisely the positions that constituted Neo- Augustinian philosophy, it is possible to understand generally what the movement was and how Pecham’s views relate to it. As I explicate Pecham’s philosophical psychology, it will become obvious that he cannot be construed as being simply an “Augustinian,” but rather nuances of his positions must be appreciated. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !vii ! ! ! !

INTRODUCTION John Pecham was a Franciscan theologian who took both a strongly anti-Thomist position and a strongly anti-Averroist position in late-13th-century debates in philosophy of mind. Following a successful career as a theologian, Pecham was Archbishop of Canterbury from 1279 until his death in 1292. Despite the facts that (1) he represented a viable theological and philosophical perspective in his day, (2) he was involved directly in major debates with Aquinas and other masters at the university of Paris, and (3) a number of his philosophical writings are extant, Pecham has been studied far less than other medieval thinkers such as Thomas Aquinas, Giles of Rome, Bonaventure, and the Latin Averroists. My thesis is this: John Pecham’s philosophical anthropology is based on a distinctive, original synthesis of Neoplatonic metaphysics, and is a significant alternative to Aquinas’s anthropology. Arguing for this thesis will involve supporting a number of sub-theses, which will be largely based on my exegesis of Pecham’s texts (primarily in chapters two and three of the present study), especially his Tractatus De Anima1 and quaestio five of his 1 Ed. P. Gaudentis Melani (Florence: Stabilimenti Grafici Vallecchi, 1948). All references to the Pecham’s Tractatus are to the Tractatus De Anima, unless otherwise noted. !1 Quaestiones De Anima.2 I will also refer to relevant passages in others of Pecham’s works: Quaestiones De Beatitudine Corporis et Animae,3 Quaestiones Selectae ex Commentario Super I. Sententiarum,4 other portions of Pecham’s commentary on the first book of Peter Lombard’s Sentences,5 the Summa de Esse et Essentia,6 and Pecham’s Quodlibeta Quatuor.7 It is particularly important to give an exposé of the Tractatus and quaestio five in detail. Both texts are replete with Pecham’s citation of his philosophical and theological sources, and a consideration of how Pecham organizes and uses these sources to advance his agenda is the subject of the fifth chapter of the present study. Both texts contain arguments throughout that will serve as evidence to support claims I make about Pecham’s position in comparison with Aquinas’ position. This is the subject of the sixth chapter. Furthermore, with the exception of Girard Etzkorn’s and Hieronymus Spettmann’s work, the Pecham texts have not been studied in-depth in the scholarship (usually study of Pecham has been done briefly and only to aid in understanding Aquinas’ work). The present study is an effort to begin to correct this oversight. Though the 2 Quaestiones Disputatae, ed.

  • Some Characteristics of Suhrawardi's Illuminationist Philosophy
    Special Issue INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND January 2016 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 Some Characteristics of Suhrawardi’s Illuminationist Philosophy Ali Nazarialiabadi Islamic Azad University of Isfahan, Khorasgan, Iran Corresponding author: [email protected] Fathali Akbari Isfahan University, Isfahan, Iran E-mail: [email protected] Seyyed Hashem Golestani Islamic Azad University of Isfahan, Khorasgan, Iran [email protected] Abstract Perhaps one of the most distinctive features of Suhrawardi’s school of thinking is the belief that anyone who does not grasp onto the divine string would necessarily have gone astray. In fact, one would find out that reconciling neo-Platonic ideas with pre-Platonic ideas and incorporating Peripatetic philosophy into the religious foundations of Islam and Iran, Suhrawardi has successfully pursued a very ambitious objective. For Suhrawardi, the followers of the Eternal Wisdom deal with revelation and intuition rather than argumentation and philosophizing. It is important to note that the key to resolving ambiguities in understanding the ideas of philosophers such as Suhrawardi is in clarifying the corresponding terminology in another language. From the point of view of Suhrawardi, all the levels of existence and wisdom as well as the beginning and the continuity of the world, and the bliss and salvation of human beings are parts of the evolution of the Light. Unlike the Peripatetic philosophers, Shaikh al- ʿIshraq (Suhrawardi, master of Illumination) considers the Most High God’s knowledge of objects in an inclusively illuminated manner. Here, we will investigate some characteristics of the Illuminationist philosophy of Suhrawardi; some of which are heeding the scripture and Sunnah, reconciliation of ideas, language networks, expressions of mystery, Perennialism, illumination metaphysics, sympathetic encounters with the ancestors, revelation/intuition and gradation/skepticism.

EDITED BY 0. EVELEIGH WOODRUFF, M.A. INTRODUCTION THE thirty-two letters and petitions which, by the courtesy of the Dean and Chapter, I have been permitted to trans- cribe, and now to offer to the Kent Archasological Society for pubhcation, were written—with the exception of three or four—in the seventeenth century, on the eve of the troublous times which culminated in the overthrow of Church and King, or in the years immediately fohowing the restoration of the monarchy when deans and chapters, once more in possession of their churches, and estates, were reviving the worship and customs which had been for many years in abeyance. One letter, however, is of earher date than the seventeenth century and three are later. Thus number one is from the pen of Dr. Nicholas Wotton, the first dean of the New Eoundation. Wotton, who was much employed in affairs of state, did not spend much time at Canterbury. His letter, which is dated from London, February 11th, 1564-5, is addressed to his brethren the prebendaries of Canterbury, and its purport is to inform them that Sir Thomas Gresham has offered to build, at his own proper cost and charges, a new Royal Exchange in the city of London.

The paper critically discusses the fascination that Ibn Rushd has exercised on several thinkers, from Ernest Renan to Salman Rushdie, and highlights the problem of literalism in Qur’anic interpretation. Based on Ibn Rushd’s Decisive Treatise (Fasl al-maqāl), the paper investigates Ibn Rushd’s proposed division of (Muslim) society into three distinct classes. The main question here is whether there is a substantial link between the people of the Muslim community, given the three distinct kinds of assent (tasdīq) introduced by Ibn Rushd. I argue that if such a link cannot be supplied, then it is hard to see in Ibn Rushd an enlightened social model for today’s Muslim societies. Furthermore, that the great majority of people are prevented from having any contact with non-literal interpretation of the Scripture and non-revealed ways of thinking.

Robinson erhaps as early as the eighth century, in the Islamic East, the traditional Sanskrit tales about the Buddha’s enlightenment—about his recognition of his own mortality and training with an ascetic monk—were translated into Persian and Arabic. The Arabic version, entitled Bilawhar wa-Būdhāsaf, then served as Pthe basis for renderings into Georgian, Greek, Latin, Hebrew, and a long list of European vernacular languages.1 These renderings were, more often than not, not straightforward translations but adaptations, often introducing significant modifications into the frame narrative. The Greek version, for example, transformed Bilawhar—an ascetic teacher—into Barlaam, a saintly Christian monk, and his disciple Budasaf or Yudasaf—the Buddha—into Joasaph or Josaphat, a saintly Christian Neophyte.2 The Hebrew version is no less surprising than the Greek, when Bilawhar be- comes not a Jewish sage but a Neoplatonic philosopher, and his 1 For the Arabic and Persian versions, see D.

Sargeant Reynolds Community College, 2013 A Thesis presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Master of Arts Department of Religious Studies University of Virginia December, 2020 Dr. Shankar Nair Dr. Jessica Andruss 2 In 1910, when Hazrat Inayat Khan left India to visit New York and the United States for the first time, he began his journey as a traveling musician, having come from a family of highly respected musicians in Baroda, India. Before long, however, he began publicly teaching a form of primarily Chishti Sufism. The next seventeen years of his life would be spent crisscrossing the Western world giving lectures to thousands of Europeans and Americans in an attempt to spread this philosophical message. This message shifted over those first seventeen years and the subsequent century from one that heavily emphasized specifically Sufi elements of teaching and philosophy to a religious message that placed heavy emphasis on the universal elements that it considered to be the core of all religions. This philosophy is most readily observable and easily understood by studying its current iteration, the Inayattiya, who developed out of a number of schisms and splits in the mid twentieth century and trace their silsila, or spiritual lineage, back to HIK by way of his siblings and cousins, to his son Pir Vilayat Inayat-Khan, and his grandson, the current head, of the Order Pir Zia Inayat-Khan.

Their whole philosophical career in one sense has been devoted to the accomplishment of this single task. They belong to different philosophical traditions and have lived in different worlds and have had different spiritual and intellectual ideals. However, their ontological concerns have numerous points of similarity and can be comparatively assayed. The mystical dimension of the philosophical discourses of these two philosophers of the Truth of Being is one of the significant comparative issues that can be studied in view of a certain set of mystical concepts. One of the key mystical concepts is Yaqzah or mystical awakening that refers to the existential awareness that occurs in the mystic following a Divine enlightenment.
