  • Avignon Vs. Rome: Dante, Petrarch, Catherine of Siena
    [Expositions 4.1&2 (2010) 47-62] Expositions (online) ISSN: 1747-5376 Avignon vs. Rome: Dante, Petrarch, Catherine of Siena THOMAS RENNA Saginaw Valley State University ABSTRACT In the fourteenth century the image of ancient Rome as Babylon was transformed into the positive idea of Rome as both a Christian and a classical ideal. Whereas Dante disassociated Augustine‟s Babylon from imperial Rome, Petrarch turned Avignon into Babylon, a symbol of an avaricious papacy. For Catherine of Siena Avignon was not evil, but a distraction which prevented the pope from reforming the Italian clergy, bringing peace to Italy, and launching the crusade. “There is only one hope of salvation in this place! Here, Christ is sold for gold!”1 And so Francesco Petrarch denounced the Avignon of the popes as the most evil place on earth since the days of ancient Babylon. This view of the Holy See should have disappeared when the papacy returned to Rome in 1377, but it did not. On the contrary, the castigation of the sins of pontiffs intensified, as subsequent ages used this profile to vilify the papacy, the clergy, the French monarchy, and the French nation.2 Not to be outdone, some French historians in the twentieth century sought to correct this received tradition by examining the popes‟ worthy qualities.3 It is curious that this depiction of Avignon as the Babylon Captivity has enjoyed such longevity, even in college textbooks.4 “Corruption” is of course a value judgment as much as a description of actual behavior. Doubtless Pope Clement VI did not think of his curia as “corrupt.” Contemporary citizens of Mongolia do not see Genghis Khan as the monster of the medieval Christian chronicles.

The body politic metaphor, widely invoked in envisioning various modes of the existence and operation of a harmonious society, has been an enduring feature in the evolution of political thought, both in the “West” and elsewhere. The conference drew upon the cumulative expertise of scholars from different disciplinary backgrounds. It explored iterations of the body politic metaphor and its normative value for conceptions of social and political harmony from the Middle Ages to the present in the European, Islamic, Jewish, Indian, Rus- sian, and East Asian traditions of political theorizing.

  • Church and Council: the Ecclesiology of Marsilius of Padua
    ANTHONY C. YU Church and Council: The Ecclesiology of Marsilius of Padua With the recent convention and completion of the Second Vatican Council, one traditional concern of the Christian church once more has been placed in sharp focus. Within the context of reform, renewal, and ecumenical conversa­ tion, the question of church and council has been raised and discussed with fresh significance.1 It is not surprising today to find Roman Catholics and Protestants, though they may differ widely in their theological assumptions, all earnestly debating the possibilities of a church council for internal reform and for external reunion of the divided communions. In light of these develop­ ments, it is instructive to examine afresh some of the ideas of Marsilius of Padua, who, as a Roman Catholic historian has recently observed, has conventionally been regarded as one of the fathers of modem conciliar theory.2 Whether such an opinion is historically accurate remains a subject of controversy and research. However, there can be no denial of the fact that Marsilius' Defensor Pacis, as a document, was an important milestone in the whole history of conciliar theory and the conciliar movement, and it thus is a significant link from the fourteenth century down to the present. The purpose of the study is to examine and assess Marsilius' concept of the church, with special attention to his theory of the general council. Before we begin formal exposition of the Marsilian ecclesiology, a .word on historical background seems appropriate. When the ideas of the Paduan are studied as more or less isolated phenomena, they appear to be strikingly original and independent of tradition.8 Yet more recent research tends to minimize this emphasis, by placing Marsilius in the context of his contem­ porary society, intellectual and otherwise.4 A note on historical background 1.

  • Between Al-Farabi and Derrida
    Page 1 TRANSLATING JUSTICE: BETWEEN AL-FARABI AND DERRIDA Hiba Ghanem (B.A., M.A.) Ph.D. in Philosophy Department of Politics, Philosophy and Religion Lancaster University July 2015 Page 2 ABSTRACT Inspired by Derridean deconstruction, contemporary translation studies hold that translation is a process of transformation that is characterized by indeterminacy. However, little attention has been given to the political aspects of that transformation. By exploring this aspect, this thesis argues that translation is a transformation within sovereignty from a divine to a more secular model that is guided by justice. By offering a comparative reading of Derrida’s and the medieval Turkish/Persian philosopher’s, al-Farabi’s, works on sovereignty and translation, it holds that the switch in the paradigms of sovereignty from a Derridean kingly cape to an al-Farabian imam implies a change in the dynamics of translating sovereignty that is aesthetic in nature. The research starts by exploring the political and theological implications implicit in the translation of sovereignty as expounded in Derrida’s ‘Des Tours de Babel’. Adopting Derrida’s image of the kingly cape turned into a wedding gown, it argues that the translation of sovereignty is an aesthetic shift from a divine-kingly model to a more secular one. The thesis, then, explores traces of this shift within al-Farabi’s model of the Virtuous City where the weeds, dissenting citizens, contest the imam’s logocentric sovereignty in an affective and imaginative medium. Both models will be shown to highlight a reverse structure within the ceremonial aspect of power, which Agamben denotes as ‘acclamation’ or ‘glory’.

  • Augustine's Anthropological Hermeneutic and Political Thought
    Augustine’s Anthropological Hermeneutic and Political Thought in Dante Alighieri’s De Monarchia La hermenéutica antropológica 2 de Agustín y su pensamiento político en De Monarchia de Dante Alighieri Piotr M. Paciorek Independent researcher, United States of America Abstract This essay aims to evaluate the concept of peace that Dante Alighieri inscribed in De Monarchia, a work that is recognized as one of the major achievements of medieval political philosophy. Articulating peace as the main component of the Christian civilization of Western Europe, Dante remained under the influ- ence of Aristotelian ethical and political thought, an- cient Christian theologians, and the great authority of Augustine of Hippo. Since ancient thinkers believed that anthropological concepts should be subject to any socio-political investigation, peace, too, was ex- amined from an anthropological perspective. Aristo- tle’s anthropological hermeneutic employed the triad of body-soul-spirit to understand human nature and exposed the notion of universal peace to mean caritas, unity, and justice. Relying on Aristotle’s triad and over- all hermeneutic, Augustine’s anthropological explo- ration of human nature is a metaphorical portrait of man in a constant struggle for harmony between soul and body, a harmony which could then be projected in society under governing nations. Guided by this initial examination of the Augustinian and Aristotelian her- meneutic, this essay explore De Monarchia in depth, so as to demonstrate Augustine’s impact and inspira- tion on Dante’s monarchical beliefs. The inquiry herein will specifically outline how Dante applied Augustine’s concept of peace to his current socio-political system, both among individuals and particular communities.
