  • Yoshihisa Yamamoto* Scholasticism in Early Modern Japan

    SCHOLASTICISM IN EARLY MODERN JAPAN Yoshihisa Yamamoto* Scholasticism in Early Modern Japan Abstract: In this article, the infl uence of Western scholasticism to Japan in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries is portrayed in detail. The overview of the Japanese Christian literature is provided in the fi rst half of the article. The introduction of Christianity and scholasticism generated much tension between Western thought and traditional Japanese thought such as Buddhism, Shintoism and Confucianism. The structure of the dialogue between Western Christian culture and Japanese culture is analyzed in the latter half of the article by comparing the thought of Alessandro Valignano and Fabian Fukansai. The meeting of two cultures during the Christian Century in Japan gave rise to serious philosophical and theological problems which persist even until today. Keywords: Japanese Scholasticism, Christian Century in Japan, Jesuit Mission Press, Dialogue of Cultures, Alessandro Valignano, Francisco Xavier, Luis de Granada, Pedro Gómez, Fabian Fukansai. Resumo: Neste artigo, oferece-se um quadro detalhado da infl uência da escolástica ocidental no Japão, nos séculos 16 e 17. A visão perspectiva da literatura cristã japonesa é trazida na primeira metade do artigo. A introdução do cristianismo e da escolástica geraram grande tensão entre o pensamento ocidental e o pensamento japonês tradicional, representado por correntes como o budismo, o xintoísmo e o confucionismo. A estrutura dos diálogos entre a cultura cristã ocidental e a cultura japonesa é analisada na segunda parte do artigo, comparando-se o pensamento de Alessandro Valignano e * Associate Professor, Department of Advanced Social and International Studies, Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of the University of Tokyo; 3-8-1 Komaba, Meguro-ku, Tokyo 153-8902 Japan.
  • St. Maximilian Kolbe

    St. Maximilian Kolbe

    WITNESS TO FREEDOM ST. MAXIMILIAN KOLBE USCCB Fact Sheet “No one in the world can change Truth. What we can do and should do is to seek truth and to serve it when we have found it.” The 20th century has been called the Century of Martyrs. Some historians estimate that more people died for their faith in the 20th century than the previous nineteen centuries combined. The 20th century saw a massive amount of bloodshed from people who died because of their faith. One of the most dramatic examples of these martyrs is Saint Maximilian Kolbe, a Polish Franciscan priest who offered his life in the Auschwitz death camp in exchange for the life of another man, a husband and father. Maximilian Kolbe saw the evil of both the Nazi fascism invading Poland from the west and communism invading Poland from the east. The squeezing of the Polish people was partly a military effort, but perhaps more profoundly, it was an attempt to drain Poland of its culture, which was decidedly Catholic. (Matt Palmer) Totalitarian regimes cannot tolerate an authoritative voice other than the state. In response to the attack on the very life of the Polish faithful, Maximilian Kolbe invested his time and energy into creating a counter voice through print media and the formation of priests. The saint knew that what faced Poland and the western world was first and foremost a spiritual battle and thus needed a spiritual response. In establishing various newspapers and houses of formation, Maximilian Kolbe heroically and courageously stood up to the secular powers of his time.

Some are small, like shifting our table of contents headings to more clearly identify which works are peer reviewed, and changing the spacing between articles’ paragraphs. Others are more obvious, like the ability and willingness to publish even longer works than previously, in addition to the ongoing array of works published. Some transitions are in process and less visible. For example, we are working to evolve IR’s structure to reflect its degree of engagement from others, and making behind the scene shifts in our ability to better understand and realize the goals we set out to accomplish.
  • Edgar Morin’S Path of Complexity

    Edgar Morin’S Path of Complexity

    FOREWORD EDGAR MORIN’S PATH OF COMPLEXITY ALFONSO MONTUORI Ndlr: A Montuori et l’éditeur de ‘On Complexity’ nous autorisent à reprender ici le texte anglais de la préface de l’ouvrage d’Edgar Morin qu’ils publient « ON COMPLEXITY » The reform in thinking is a key anthropological and historical problem. This implies a mental revolution of considerably greater proportions than the Copernican revolution. Never before in the history of humanity have the responsibilities of thinking weighed so crushingly on us. Does knowing that knowledge cannot be guaranteed by a foundation not mean that we have already acquired a first fundamental knowledge? And should this not lead us to abandon the architectural metaphor, in which the term “foundation” assumes an indispensable meaning, in favor of a musical metaphor of construction in movement that transforms in its very movement the constitutive elements that form it? And might we not also consider the knowledge of knowledge as a construction in movement? We need a kind of thinking that reconnects that which is disjointed and compartmentalized, that respects diversity as it recognizes unity, and that tries to discern interdependencies. We need a radical thinking (which gets to the root of problems), a multidimensional thinking, and an organizational or systemic thinking. History has not reached a stagnant end, nor is it triumphantly marching towards the radiant future. It is being catapulted into an unknown adventure. Edgar Morin: A Biblio-biography Perhaps the best way to provide a contextual introduction to Morin’s work is through an outline of his intellectual trajectory, in the form of a “biblio-biography.” A review of Morin’s journey helps us, I believe, to better understand the man and his mission in the essays that follow.

Galten, MI National President Dear Knights of the Immaculata, Maria! For this month’s consideration, I want to look back in order to look forward… all this in the light of the 80th anni- versary of St. Maximilian’s martyrdom. In June, we celebrated the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, a feast dear to the Church, to St. Maximilian, and to every Knight of the Immac- ulata who has pondered his or her Total Consecration prayer. In the Seraphic College, where St. Maximilian studied for the priesthood and founded the MI, there is a large picture of the Sacred Heart revealing the secrets of His Heart to “Through Mary Immaculate to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque and a small St. Francis hovering in the background. The Sacred Heart had given St. Francis as a spiritual guide to her. Jesus: that is our watchword. We can suppose that our founder meditated on this picture in light of this The more you spread veneration question, “Who are you, O Immaculate Conception?” Perhaps he saw concretely at that moment the connection between the Immaculata, her Spouse the Holy and love for the Immaculata Spirit, and the spread of the Kingdom of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. If so, because he saw it, we are the Knights of the Immaculata and must see this as the more souls you win over the vital center of our vocation to lead all to this Heart through the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Its aim is to demonstrate how the Catholic Church, its hierarchy and its priests acted as relevant patriots who did not hesitate to stand up to the occupying forces and express their rejection of their procedures. Both the domestic Catholic camp and the ties abroad towards the Holy See and its representation will be analysed. There will also be presented the personalities of priests, who became the victims of the Nazi rampage in the Czech lands at the end of the study. The basic method consists of a descriptive analysis that takes into account the comparative approach of the spiritual life before and after the occupation. Furthermore, the analytical-synthetic method will be used, combined with the subsequent interpretation of the findings. An additional method, not always easy to apply, is hermeneutics, i.e., the interpretation of socio-historical phenomena in an effort to reveal the uniqueness of the analysed texts and sources and emphasize their singularity in the cultural and spiritual development of Czech Church history in the first half of the 20th century.
