Konferenz der SIEPM in Palermo im Sep‑ tember 2007 hatte sich erstmals eine eigene Abteilung mit Ramon Lull und seinem Werk beschäftigt. Als José Higuera für den Freisinger Kongress unter dem Titel “Pleasures of Knowledge” erneut zu einer entsprechenden Session einlud, folgte eine beacht‑ liche Anzahl von Lull‑Spezialistinnen und ‑Spezialisten seinem Ruf. Ihre hier gesammelten und von José Higuera herausgege‑ benen Beiträge lassen sich drei großen Themenkreisen zuordnen : dem Wissen bzw der Erkenntnistheorie, der Kontemplation und der historischen Rezeption von Lulls Werk vom 14. Jahrhundert bis heute So spiegelt der vorliegende Band ein breites Spektrum gegenwärtiger Lull‑Forschung Raimundus‑Lullus‑Institut der Universität Freiburg, im April 2015 Peter Walter Viola Tenge‑Wolf PRESENTATION Fernando Domínguez stated in his postfacium1 to the publica‑ tion of the contributions of the first SSL (Special Session Lulli‑ ana) held in Palermo (2007) that, until then, the figure of Ramon Llull had not received the attention it deserved in scholarship on medieval philosophy. This fact can be explained by the tension between Llull’s “originality” on the one hand and the “rigour” of the Scholastic method on the other which seems to impose restric‑ tions on the aims of Llull’s thought. Domínguez proposed over‑ coming this apparent clash by dealing with the issues and prob‑ lems with which Ramon Llull was confronted in his time, as well as with the corresponding solutions that he presented to the mem‑ bers of the medieval studium. During the second SSL held in Freising at the Congress “Plea‑ sures of Knowledge”, SIEPM 2012 – 22‑25 August – the contribu‑ tors took up this suggestion and addressed relevant issues within the philosophical tradition of the thirteenth century. Thus they showed how Ramon Llull gave his own responses by developing a philosophical Opus that is still relevant to current research on the Middle Ages In particular, the contributions deal with three main areas : theory of knowledge, contemplative life and divine delectatio, and the reception of Llull’s work from the fourteenth to the twentieth centuries The first area opens with a contribution by Coralba Colomba (SISMEL‑Florence) which focuses on the classical notion of brevitas in order to highlight three important aspects of Llull’s work : the encyclopedic compilation of knowledge, the collection of the prin‑ ciples of different disciplines, and the synthetic function of Llull’s Art from a methodological perspective. Ramon Llull assumed a critical stance with regard to the philosophical works of his age, namely the voluminous scholastic commentaries and disputed questions, and he promoted instead his own compendiosa version 1 F. Dominguez, “Postfazione”, Universality of Reason. Plurality of Philoso- phies in the Middle Ages : XII International Congress of the Society for the Study of Medieval Philosophy, eds A. Musco et al., Palermo, 2012, v II 2, p xxxv XII presentation of knowledge that made it available to secular teaching and useful for theological dialogue. Carla Compagno (Raimundus‑Lullus‑Institut, Freiburg) offers an introduction to Llull’s geometry, taking as a starting point the reception of Llull’s work by the Baroque editor Ivo Salzinger, who recognised in Llull’s thought an analogy between the geo‑ metric objects and the divine principia Salzinger showed how a geometrical representation could be a way to study the relation‑ ships between different magnitudes, if one took into account that these relations showed the active meaning of the divine dignities. The idea of the existence of a spiritual magnitudo is Salzinger’s interpretation, which seems to follow the Augustinian concept of quantitas virtutis in order to explain the geometry of Llull’s Art. Celia López Alcalde (IEM‑UAB, Barcelona), basing herself on the edition of the Liber novus de anima rationali, shows that Llull’s thought dealt with a psychological model which offers an alter‑ native to the Aristotelian theory of abstraction. Llull sought to determine the functions of the senses and the imagination in the soul in relation to divine principia : a kind of knowledge that is beyond the perceptible world. The concept of analogy resolves the concatenation of “cognitive actions” that are based on perception and tend toward the divine principia This proposal also takes into account Llull’s interest in the unity of perception and the relationship between imagination and metaphysical principles Guilherme Wyllie (URJ, Niterói) points out Llull’s interest in the tradition of the medieval commentaries on the Sophistici elenchi with the intention of unifying the “ancient” fallacies into a “new” one, called the fallacy “by contradiction”. As Wyllie remarks, the resolution of the fallacies is not Ramon Llull’s main goal, since the contradiction and the ambiguity of the terms applied in theo‑ logical knowledge are an opportunity to demonstrate the validity of the principles of the Art. In the second part of this volume, Antoni Bordoy (UIB, Palma de Mallorca) addresses the structure of Ramon Llull’s commen‑ tary on Bishop Tempier’s syllabus from 1277 ; he also points out the importance of this text in the light of contemporary interpre‑ tations of the condemnations. Ramon Llull identified the ethical, epistemological and theological problems gathered by Tempier in the propositions of the syllabus. While Llull focused his efforts on presentation XIII these issues, he did not deal so much with the text of the con‑ demnation itself, but preferred to discuss its main questions. To a large degree, current historiography seems to follow this same method of interpretation of the syllabus Francesco Fiorentino (UdS, Bari) focuses on the problem of speculative happiness and refers to the philosophical activity in Llull’s works pointing out how the delectatio of human knowledge is central to Llull’s thought : intellectual happiness validates many of his metaphysical positions.

  • Andrea Bocchetti ISSN 1540 5877 Ehumanista/IVITRA 11 (2017)
    Andrea Bocchetti “Parler sans jugement, de choses qu'on ignore”: lullism and the Cartesian method Andrea Bocchetti Università degli studi di Napoli “Federico II” The comparison of the methodological problems of Llull and Descartes is justified by their shared demand for a unification of the epistemological perspective of the sciences, which they sought by reducing the sciences to methodological dispersion, a heritage of the logical and metaphysical structure of aristotelianism and scholastic thought. Both philosophers pose the question, in fact, of how to implement a unique method in order to reunite all the sciences with respect to their determination and resolution. The lullian Ars Generalis sought to erect a supreme Science above the particular sciences; but, in doing so, Llull conceived of a combinatory system, which intended to propose, after a definition of the elements concerning the problematics he posed, a resolving mechanism based on the multiple possibilities of arranging their components. The characteristics which have aided the diffusion and success of lullism after his death and during the Renaissance, and into the XVII century, drew the interest of those who were engaged with the debates concerning a new science and new method. It goes without saying that lullism cannot be transposed tout-court. In fact, the motivations and the results of his work were not, in the end, considered by modern thought to be able to fulfil the tasks of a truly methodological and scientific revolution. Descartes, in particular, considered Llull a witness to an artificial and ineffective sophistic, which was based on a merely positional principle of argumentative connection.

  • Llull, Leibniz, and the Logic of Discovery
    Llull, Leibniz, and the Logic of Discovery This version of the paper corrects typographical errors in “Llull and Leibniz: The Logic of Discovery,” Catalan Review IV, Nos. 1–2 (July–December 1990), 75–83. John R. Welch Department of Philosophy Saint Louis University – Madrid Campus 28003 Madrid Spain [email protected] Abstract: Llull and Leibniz both subscribed to conceptual atomism: the belief that the majority of concepts are compounds constructed from a relatively small number of primitive concepts. Llull worked out techniques for finding the logically possible combinations of his primitives, but Leibniz criticized Llull’s execution of these techniques. This paper argues that Leibniz was right about things being more complicated than Llull thought but that he was wrong about the details. The paper attempts to correct these details. Keywords: Ars magna, conceptual atomism, Leibniz, Llull, logic of discovery A logic conceived as a formal calculus is one thing; the same logic applied is another. When logic is applied, why is it applied? To what use is it put? We are perhaps most accustomed to answer in terms of justification; given a truth, logic may show us why it is true. But there is another answer, prominent from the early modern period down to the present day, which is that logic can also be used to discover. One of the pioneers of this point of view was Leibniz. His efforts to forge a logic of discovery were informed by a kind of conceptual atomism, a belief that the majority of concepts are compounds constructed from a relatively small number of primitives.
