Sepúlveda Weighs in on “The King’S Great Matter” A Semi pelagian in King Charles's Court: Juan Gines de Sep(llveda on Nature, Grace, and the Conquest of the Americas by Katie Marie Benjamin E ' Col6n-Emeric b /teL~ ~ WarrenSmith Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Theology in the Divinity School of Duke University December, 2017 ABSTRACT A Semipelagian in King Charles's Court: Juan Gines de Sepulveda on Nature, Grace, and the Conquest of the Americas by Katie Marie Benjamin Date: ~C. 22, ZOtr Approved: ryisl · ,~ An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Theology in the Divinity School of Duke University 2017 Abstract In 1526, a Spaniard in the papal court of Clement VII addressed a treatise against Luther’s Bondage of the Will, calling it On Fate and Free Will and arguing good works are not only possible before one receives God’s grace but a necessary prerequisite to that grace. The position, which acknowledges a human need for grace but assigns the beginning of salvation to human effort, is one church historians conventionally refer to as semipelagianism. The Spaniard, Juan Ginés de Sepúlveda, went on to serve Charles V as royal historian, and to defend the latter’s conquest of the Americas and subjugation of those contintents’ indigenous populations at the Valladolid debates in 1550–1551. The logic by which he did so is generally attributed to a high view of plenary papal authority in the temporal world, combined with an Aristotelian hierarchy of being that conveniently labeled the indigenous peoples of the Americas “natural slaves.” This dissertation uses Sepúlveda’s published treatises in order to trace his treatment of themes such as natural reason, natural law, divine law, human free will, and divine grace, in order to demonstrate that Sepúlveda's logic in his defense of the conquest was actually rooted precisely in the semipelagian theology he deployed in his writings against Luther. He argued that the indigenous peoples of the Americas were barbarians and appropriately labeled according to Aristotle's natural slave category, but he began with the theological conviction that they had failed to embrace what natural reason iv alone could teach them about God, and failed moreover to “do what is in one” by turning to God and obeying the divine law as revealed in nature, all of which Sepúlveda took to be prerequisite for the receipt of grace. The indigenous peoples of the Americas were not barbarians in Sepúlveda’s mind because they belonged to Aristotle’s natural slave category, but “natural slave” was a useful term he deployed to further describe those who had failed to take the initiative for their salvation, as required by the semipelagian theology he deployed against Luther. v Contents Abstract ......................................................................................................................... iv Acknowledgements ..................................................................................................... x 1.

Goizueta, Ph.D. Committee Member ii ABSTRACT HONOR AND CARITAS: BARTOLOMÉ DE LAS CASAS, SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE, AND THE CONQUEST OF THE AMERICAS Name: Costello, Damian Matthew University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. William L. Portier This dissertation - a postcolonial re-examination of Bartolomé de las Casas, the 16th century Spanish priest often called “The Protector of the Indians” - is a conversation between three primary components: a biography of Las Casas, an interdisciplinary history of the conquest of the Americas and early Latin America, and an analysis of the Spanish debate over the morality of Spanish colonialism. The work adds two new theses to the scholarship of Las Casas: a reassessment of the process of Spanish expansion and the nature of Las Casas’s opposition to it. The first thesis challenges the dominant paradigm of 16th century Spanish colonialism, which tends to explain conquest as the result of perceived religious and racial difference; that is, Spanish conquistadors turned to military force as a means of imposing Spanish civilization and Christianity on heathen Indians.

  • Approaches to the Extramission Postulate in 13Th Century Theories of Vision Lukáš Lička
    The Visual Process: Immediate or Successive? Approaches to the Extramission Postulate in 13th Century Theories of Vision Lukáš Lička [Penultimate draft. For the published version, see L. Lička, “The Visual Process: Immediate or Successive? Approaches to the Extramission Postulate in 13th Century Theories of Vision”, in Medieval Perceptual Puzzles: Theories of Sense-Perception in the 13th and 14th Centuries, edited by E. Băltuță, Leiden: Brill, 2020, pp. 73–110.] Introduction Is vision merely a state of the beholder’s sensory organ which can be explained as an immediate effect caused by external sensible objects? Or is it rather a successive process in which the observer actively scanning the surrounding environment plays a major part? These two general attitudes towards visual perception were both developed already by ancient thinkers. The former is embraced by natural philosophers (e.g., atomists and Aristotelians) and is often labelled “intromissionist”, based on their assumption that vision is an outcome of the causal influence exerted by an external object upon a sensory organ receiving an entity from the object. The latter attitude to vision as a successive process is rather linked to the “extramissionist” theories of the proponents of geometrical optics (such as Euclid or Ptolemy) who suggest that an entity – a visual ray – is sent forth from the eyes to the object.1 The present paper focuses on the contributions to this ancient controversy proposed by some 13th-century Latin thinkers. In contemporary historiography of medieval Latin philosophy, the general narrative is that whereas thinkers in the 12th century held various (mostly Platonic) versions of the extramission theory, the situation changes during the first half of the 13th century when texts by Avicenna, Aristotle (with the commentaries by Averroes), and especially Alhacen, who all favour the intromissionist paradigm, were gradually assimilated.2 It is assumed that, as a result, 1 For an account of the ancient theories of vision based on this line of conflict see especially D.

  • Americans in Paris, Fall 2010
    First-Year Seminar Fall 2010 Americans in Paris “America is my country and Paris is my hometown.” – Gertrude Stein Professor Suzanne Jones, Ryland Hall 307, 289-8307, email "[email protected]" Office Hours: TR 12-12:30, 2:45 – 3:15 p.m., and by appointment Course Description: American writers and artists – from Thomas Jefferson to Henry James, Edith Wharton to Ernest Hemingway, Scott Fitzgerald to Shay Youngblood – have viewed the French as a people who value art and creativity, the aesthete and the intellectual, more highly than Americans. Those Americans marginalized or discriminated against in the U.S., such as Josephine Baker and James Baldwin and a variety of jazz musicians, have judged Paris to be a place where they can live and love and create as they please. In this seminar we will discuss what Americans hope to find in Paris that they don’t find in the United States, we will locate where the Paris of their dreams departs from reality, and we will compare their quests across generations and demographic groups. We will also be on the lookout for how the writers’ narratives can sometimes be at odds with the structures, both film and fiction, that contain them. Throughout the semester we will attempt to think more complexly about American stereotypes of Paris and French people, both positive and negative; about why these stereotypes exist and what functions they serve for Americans. But we will also consider how Americans are perceived by the French and why, and the effects of misperceptions on both sides of the Atlantic.

  • Walter Lee Sheppard Jr., “Descendants Of
    from National Genealogical Society Quarterly 62 (September 1974):182–91. Descendants of the Illegitimate Sons and daughters of the Kings of Britain By WALTER LEE SHEPPARD, JR., F.A.S.G., F.G.S.P., C.G.* BACKGROUND The proliferation of precolonial hereditary societies over the past 75 years can probably be traced at least partially to the somewhat conde- scending treatment many American businessmen and their wives have received from their European counterparts, and the similar treatment experienced by wealthy and well connected Americans on extended visits to the United Kingdom and the Continent, especially during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The European of noble birth or other person secure in his knowledge of generations of "btue blood" tended to patronize persons of unknown parentage who had attained promi- nence by work rather than inheritance. The wealthy American returning from a grand tour, smarting from this patronization, often sought the services of a genealogist to prove that his or her ancestry was just as illustrious as that of the noble acquaintance. To assure that the word got back to the proper parties, societies such as Americans of Royal Descent, Descendants of Kings, of Charlemagne, etc., were founded. The membership in these societies was frequently little interested in historical matters; their primary concern was in the display of gentle lineage. The genealogists who served these persons were often working in an unfamiliar field, and frequently made untenable assumptions, such as identifying a colonist in Virginia with a near contemporary of the same name in England. Such identifications were often based solely on the coincidence of names, confirming evidence being neither sought nor found.

  • History of Renaissance and Modern Logic from 1400 to 1850
    History of Renaissance and Modern Logic from 1400 to 1850 https://www.historyoflogic.com/logic-modern.htm History of Logic from Aristotle to Gödel by Raul Corazzon | e-mail: [email protected] History of Renaissance and Modern Logic from 1400 to 1850 INTRODUCTION: LOGIC IN CONTINENTAL EUROPE "At the end of the fourteenth century there were roughly three categories of work available to those studying logic. The first category is that of commentaries on Aristotle's 'Organon'. The most comprehensive of these focussed either on the books of the Logica Vetus, which included Porphyry's Isagoge along with the Categories and De Interpretatione; or on the books of the Logica Nova, the remaining works of the 'Organon' which had become known to the West only during the twelfth century. In addition there were, of course, numerous commentaries on individual books of the 'Organon'. The second category is that of works on non-Aristotelian topics. These include the so-called Parva logicalia, or treatises on supposition, relative terms, ampliation, appellation, restriction and distribution. To these could be added tracts on exponibles and on syncategorematic terms. Peter of Spain is now the best-known author of parva logicalia, but such authors as Thomas Maulvelt and Marsilius of Inghen were almost as influential in the late fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Another group of works belonging to the second category consists of the so-called 'tracts of the moderns', namely treatises on consequences, obligations and insolubles. A third group includes treatises on sophisms, on the composite and divided senses, and on proofs of terms, especially the well-known Speculum puerorum by Richard Billingham.
