Bibliography Bibliography Where more than one work by an author or editor is included, the references are sorted chronologically. For Latin titles, the early modern notation including punc- tuation is principally maintained, ie ligatures (eg æ) are resolved (except &), u and v are normalized according to their phonetic value, and periods after cardinal num- bers and accents are not reproduced. E caudata and abbreviations are resolved, with the latter having their abbreviation sign removed and the complement placed in parentheses. Capitalization is left unchanged only for proper nouns in the broadest sense. Emphasis in titles, academic titles of authors, dedications, and information regarding printer or publisher are generally not included. The abbreviated forms used in footnotes for encyclopedias, periodicals and cer- tain works by Niels Stensen reproduced in later editions can be found under Abbreviations, A . In citations from primary sources, emphasis corresponds to that of the source material. In citations from early modern prints, page breaks are also identifi ed. In all other regards, citation of Latin sources follows the practice for references men- tioned above. For sources in Italian, u and v are normalized according to their phonetic value. For individual Latin terms taken out of their source context, case and person are either matched to the syntax of the English translation into which the respective term is inserted, or are cited in the basic grammatical form derived from the original passage. Archive Materials Included here are the prints listed in Bibliography, C for which only one copy could be verifi ed, as well as the signatures of the prints used for the illustrations in this book (cf.

The next three, IV-VI, give an account of the chief oracles, of the worship of demons, and of the various opinions of Greek Philosophers on the doctrines of Fate and Free Will.

  • The Unshackling of the Spirit of Inquiry.'
    THE UNSHACKLING OF THE SPIRIT OF INQUIRY.' BV DR. ERNSr KRAUSE (CARUS STERNE). IMPORTANT above all in the development we have been con- sidering was the growing opposition which arose against the prevailing methods of philosophy. Concerning the relation of thought to being, and of the concepts which we form of things to the real nature of these things, the idealism introduced by Plato had hitherto prevailed; that is, the view that the general concepts {jiniversalia) were actualities existing before and outside of the objects themselves, and were originally present in the Divine Mind as archetypes before their incorporation; and that from the Divine Mind they had emanated to the human mind, which is de- rived from it; whence it is possible through pure reason to find out the essence of things, that is, truth. These notions of the Idealists (who gave themselves the significant name of Realists), as we have seen, although they were somewhat limited by Aris- totle, had been opposed from olden times by the Stoics, for they had quite correctly recognised the notions of genus and species as mere abstractions {nomina), and in contrast to the so-called Real- ists were called Nominalists. This had been merely an academic dispute until the Church took the part of the Realists, and in 1092 at the Synod of Soissons condemned the canon, John Roscellinus of Compiegne and his teaching, because he had ventured to apply the nominalistic views to the conception of God. The dispute became especially warm, when the Franciscan, William of Occam, a pupil of Duns Scotus {^doctor subtilis), who was the opponent of Thomas Aquinas, refused to concede to the operations of the mind anything but their subjective existence and truth.

  • The Trinity As a Challenge to Christian-Muslim Dialogue in Nicholas of Cusa
    The Trinity as a Challenge to Christian-Muslim Dialogue in Nicholas of Cusa: Nicholas of Cusa’s Philosophical Translation of Trinitarian Faith as a Response to Islamic Rejection Felix Resch Nicholas of Cusa provides an interesting example of fostering a Christian- Muslim dialogue.1 Thus, the focus of this essay is on Cusa’s method of dealing philosophically with the Islamic accusations raised against the Christian doc- trine of the Trinity. To explore this topic, I will first of all contrast contempo- rary interreligious dialogue with Cusa’s interreligious dialogue, in order to get an idea of what the latter aims at. Then, I will turn to discuss the logical or phil- osophical objections against the Trinity mentioned in the Qurʾan, after which I will examine the ways that Christians could respond to these accusations. Among the different options available, the kerygmatic trinitarian theology, which reduces the three divine persons to proper names of three individual entities, will draw particular attention. Therefore, the philosophical and the- ological meanings of proper names will also have to be analyzed, in order to understand why Cusa saw the need to translate trinitarian proper names into philosophical concepts, despite the fact that naming the trinitarian God was still important for him. In our globalized world, characterized by the decline of social, national, political, and religious borders, isolation turns out to be more and more of an 1 Given that there is vast literature on this issue in general, I will just mention some works: Tom Kerger and Walter Andreas Euler, eds., Cusanus und der Islam, 1st ed.

  • Reading the Book of Nature After Nature
    religions Article Reading the Book of Nature after Nature Jacob Holsinger Sherman Department of Philosophy and Religion, California Institute of Integral Studies, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA; [email protected] Received: 10 March 2020; Accepted: 16 April 2020; Published: 20 April 2020 Abstract: Early modernity tended to appeal to the trope of the book of nature as a way of securing knowledge—including knowledge about God—against the exigencies of history and culture, but as theorists such as Timothy Morton, Bruno Latour, and others have argued, today this assumed dualism of nature and culture is both ecologically and critically suspect. What might it mean to read the book of nature in a time of ecological precarity, what many have called the Anthropocene? I will argue that premodern theological traditions of the book of nature, such as one finds in the twelfth century Hugh of Saint Victor, have something extremely important to add to a postmodern ‘terrestrial’ hermeneutics of nature, precisely because the premodern book of nature already performs the construal of nature as culture (and of culture as nature) so often recommended today by critics such as Latour, Haraway, and others. On such an account, nature is neither a fantasy object to be ignored or fled, nor a stable text to be tamed, rationalized, and epistemically leveraged, but rather the changing concept and experience of nature is a symbol illuminated in a book we half receive, and half create, a symbol open to both critique and contemplation, which gives rise to thought, action, and the sort of novel moral intuitions we need now more than ever.
