  • The Nous: a Globe of Faces1
    THE NOUS: A GLOBE OF FACES1 Theodore Sabo, North-West University, South Africa ([email protected]) Abstract: Plotinus inherited the concept of the Nous from the Middle Platonists and ultimately Plato. It was for him both the Demiurge and the abode of the Forms, and his attempts at describing it, often through the use of arresting metaphors, betray substantial eloquence. None of these metaphors is more unusual than that of the globe of faces which is evoked in the sixth Ennead and which is found to possess a notable corollary in the prophet Ezekiel’s vision of the four living creatures. Plotinus’ metaphor reveals that, as in the case of Ezekiel, he was probably granted such a vision, and indeed his encounters with the Nous were not phenomena he considered lightly. Defining the Nous Plotinus’ Nous was a uniquely living entity of which there is a parallel in the Hebrew prophet Ezekiel. The concept of the Nous originated with Anaxagoras. 2 Although Empedocles’ Sphere was similarly a mind,3 Anaxagoras’ idea would win the day, and it would be lavished with much attention by the Middle and Neoplatonists. For Xenocrates the Nous was the supreme God, but for the Middle Platonists it was often the second hypostasis after the One.4 Plotinus, who likewise made the Nous his second hypostasis, equated it with the Demiurge of Plato’s Timaeus.5 He followed Antiochus of Ascalon rather than Plato in regarding it as not only the Demiurge but the Paradigm, the abode of the Forms.6 1 I would like to thank Mark Edwards, Eyjólfur Emilsson, and Svetla Slaveva-Griffin for their help with this article.

  • Catholic Reformers
    THREE CATHOLIC REFORMERS OF THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY. MARY H. ALLIES. LONDON : BURNS AND OATES. 1878. AT THE FEET OF ST. GREGORY THE SEVENTH, THE PATTERN OF ALL TRUE REFORMERS, I LAY THIS MEMORIAL OF THREE SAINTS, WHO FOLLOWED IN THEIR DAY HIS EXAMPLE, RESTORING THE BEAUTY OF GOD'S HOUSE BY PREACHING THE PENANCE WHICH THEY PRACTISED. PREFACE. The following pages form only a short sketch in the case of each Saint containing some principal incidents in his life, but sufficient, it is hoped, to give a view of the character and actions, so that the reader may draw for himself the lessons to be derived. The authorities followed are, in the case of St. Vincent, the life in the Acta Sanctorum, and of Ranzano, the last written for the Saint's canoniza- tion, which took place about 1456. Also the life by l'Abbe Bayle has been now and then used. In the case of St. Bernardine, the three lives in the Acta Sanctorum, two of which are by eye- witnesses ; the Analecta, collected from various sources, and the Chronica de San Francisco de Assis; with St. Bernardine's own works. In the case of St. John Capistran, the Acta Sanc- torum, containing the learned commentary of the viii Preface, Bollandists three lives three of his ; by companions, eye-witnesses, viz., Nicholas de Fara, Hieronymus de Utino, Christophorus a Varisio. With regard to the title of Apostle, used occa- sionally of these Saints, for which it is believed there is high authority, it must be only taken in a secondary and subordinate sense.

  • St. Vincent Ferrer Feast: April 5
    St. Vincent Ferrer Feast: April 5 Facts Feast Day: April 5 St. Vincent Ferrer is the patron saint of builders because of his fame for "building up" and strengthening the Church: through his preaching, missionary work, in his teachings, as confessor and adviser. At Valencia in Spain, this illustrious son of St. Dominic came into the world on January 23, 1357. In the year 1374, he entered the Order of St. Dominic in a monastery near his native city. Soon after his profession he was commissioned to deliver lectures on philosophy. On being sent to Barcelona, he continued his scholastic duties and at the same time devoted himself to preaching. At Lerida, the famous university city of Catalonia, he received his doctorate. After this he labored six years in Valencia, during which time he perfected himself in the Christian life. In 1390, he was obliged to accompany Cardinal Pedro de Luna to France, but he soon returned home. When, in 1394, de Luna himself had become Pope at Avignon he summoned St. Vincent and made him Master of the sacred palace. In this capacity St. Vincent made unsuccessful efforts to put an end to the great schism. He refused all ecclesiastical dignities, even the cardinal's hat, and only craved to be appointed apostolical missionary. Now began those labors that made him the famous missionary of the fourteenth century. He evangelized nearly every province of Spain, and preached in France, Italy, Germany, Flanders, England, Scotland, and Ireland. Numerous conversions followed his preaching, which God Himself assisted by the gift of miracles.

  • Eschatology and Discernment of Spirits: the Impact of Peter of John Olivi’S Remedia Contra Temptationes Spirituales (14Th-15Th Centuries)1
    Eschatology and Discernment of Spirits: The Impact of Peter of John Olivi’s Remedia contra Temptationes Spirituales (14th-15th Centuries)1 In the last years of his life, between 1292 and 1298, the Franciscan Peter of John Olivi wrote a series of short devotional texts, known as Opus- cula, aimed at the religious edification of the laity. Olivi’s perspective was strongly eschatological: in his opinion, the imminence of the end of time made lay religious experience more authentic than that of the clergy, which would eventually oppose the final evangelical renewal. Among the twelve surviving Opuscula, the most eschatologically ori- ented is titled Remedia contra temptationes spirituales. The Remedia are characterized by a cautious and rigorous judgment on spiritual gifts, such as visions and raptures. According to Olivi, these phenomena are particularly difficult to discern when the Antichrist is approaching and “some will renounce the faith by paying heed to deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons” (I Tim 4, 1). Following this apocalyptic per- spective of discretio spirituum, the Remedia are divided into two parts: the first includes twelve remedies against spiritual temptations, whereas the second puts forward four remedies against corrupt teachers and their doctrines. This structure, however, is not fixed. The work is transmitted by a huge number of manuscripts, and is often attributed, as we will see, to other authors (Bonaventure, Venturino of Bergamo), or forms part of larger works (such as Ludolph of Saxony’s Vita Christi or Vincent Fer- rer’s Tractatus de vita spirituali). Accordingly, its structure remains fluid from version to version.

    Kant on the Highest Moral-Physical Good: The Social Aspect of Kant’s Moral Philosophy . Kant on the Highest Moral-Physical Good: The Social Aspect of Kant’s Moral Philosophy Paul Formosa Department of Philosophy, Macquarie University, Sydney In §88, entitled ‘On the highest moral-physical good’, in his Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View (hereafter Anthropology for short), Kant argues that ‘good living’ (physical good) and ‘true humanity’ (moral good) best harmonise in a ‘good meal in good company’.1 The conversation and company shared over a meal, Kant argues, best provides for the ‘union of social good living with virtue’ in a way that promotes ‘true humanity’.2 This occurs when the inclination to ‘good living’ is not merely kept within the bounds of ‘the law of virtue’ but where the two achieve a graceful harmony.3 As such, it is not to be confused with Kant’s well-known account of the ‘highest good’, happiness in proportion to virtue.4 But how is it that the humble dinner party and the associated practices of hospitality come to hold such an important, if often unrecognised,5 place as the highest moral-physical good in Kant’s thought? This question is in need of further investigation. Of the most recent studies in English that have taken seriously the importance of Kant’s Anthropology for understanding his wider moral philosophy,6 very few have considered §88 in any depth.7 This paper aims to help bridge this significant gap in the literature. More generally, by focusing on this section of Anthropology, as well as relevant passages from The Metaphysics of Morals, we can help to further correct the still common caricature of Kant’s ethics derived from a very narrow reading (or, rather, misreading) of the Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals.
