  • Gundissalinus on the Angelic Creation of the Human Soul a Peculiar Example of Philosophical Appropriation
    Oriens 47 (2019) 313–347 brill.com/orie Gundissalinus on the Angelic Creation of the Human Soul A Peculiar Example of Philosophical Appropriation Nicola Polloni Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin [email protected] Abstract With his original reflection—deeply influenced by many important Arabic thinkers— Gundissalinus wanted to renovate the Latin debate concerning crucial aspects of the philosophical tradition. Among the innovative doctrines he elaborated, one appears to be particularly problematic, for it touches a very delicate point of Christian theology: the divine creation of the human soul, and thus, the most intimate bond connect- ing the human being and his Creator. Notwithstanding the relevance of this point, Gundissalinus ascribed the creation of the human soul to the angels rather than God. He also stated that the angels create the souls from prime matter, and through a kind of causality which cannot be operated by God. What are the sources of this unusual and perilous doctrine? And what are the reasons which led Gundissalinus to hold such a problematic position? This article thoroughly examines the theoretical development and sources of Gundissalinus’s position, focusing on the correlations between this doc- trine, the overall cosmological descriptions expounded by Gundissalinus in his original works, and the main sources upon which this unlikely doctrine is grounded: Avicenna and Ibn Gabirol. Keywords soul – angels – Gundissalinus – Avicenna – Ibn Gabirol © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, 2019 | doi:10.1163/18778372-04800200 314 polloni 1 Introduction The problem of the origin of the human soul accompanies the history of Chris- tian philosophy at least since Origen and Augustine.1 Acceptation and refusal of different perspectives, such as the traducianist or the pre-existentialist posi- tions, slowly led to an almost shared stance on the origin of the human souls, created directly by God and infused into the body at some point during or after conception.

MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY OCT 11 2001 ARCMly LIBRARIES Mathematics, Time, and Confirmation by Ulrich Meyer Submitted to The Department of Linguistics and Philosophy on 10 August 2001 in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ABSTRACT This dissertation discusses two issues about abstract objects: their role in scientific theories, and their relation to time. Chapter 1, "Why Apply Mathematics?" argues that scientific theories are not about the mathematics that is applied in them, and defends this thesis against the Quine-Putnam Indispensability Argument. Chapter 2, "Scientific Ontology," is a critical study of W. V. Quine's claim that metaphysics and mathematics are epistemologically on a par with nat- ural science. It is argued that Quine's view relies on a unacceptable account of empirical confirmation. Chapter 3, "Prior and the Platonist," demonstrates the incompatibility of two popular views about time: the "Platonist" thesis that some objects exist "outside" time, and A.

Malden, Mass.: Blackwell, 2006. xii + 431 pp. Cloth ISBN 1-4051- 1621-8 This volume of thirty-eight essays, by an impressive list of contributors, is a resource for anyone wishing to learn about pragmatism in general, its history, as well as the particular philosophies of the classical and more recent pragmatists. There are essays in A Companion to Pragmatism that discuss pragmatic philosophers in the context of the history of philosophy. For instance, Douglas Anderson in “Peirce and Cartesian Rationalism” argues that Peirce’s rejection of Cartesianism “was radical but not wholesale” (161). In other words, what Peirce inherits from modern philosophy is as important to our understanding of his philosophy as the ways he breaks away from the tradition. There are several essays in this collection that stress both the break and the continuity with the tradition of all the classical pragmatist figures. Timothy Sprigge in “James, Empiricism, and Absolute Idealism” shows the historical continuity between James and idealism. The historical and philosophical relations between Hegel and the pragmatist are explored in Kenneth Westphal’s essay “Hegel and Realism.” In “Expressivism and Mead’ Social Self” Mitchell Aboulafia argues that the pragmatists cannot be fully appreciated unless they are understood against the backdrop of the enlighment and expressivism. Thomas Alexander argues in “Dewey, Dualism, and Naturalism” that understanding how Dewey addresses the heritage of dualism (as a common western philosophical habit) provides a better insight into his general position. Other essays in A Companion to Pragmatism facilitate understanding of pragmatism by making connections or drawing similarities/differences with other philosophical traditions, some current issue or philosopher.

  • Is Quine a Verificationist?
    Appeared in: The Southern Journal of Philosophy Vol. XLI, 2003. IS QUINE A VERIFICATIONIST? Panu Raatikainen I Although Quine is widely known as an influential critic of logical positivism, there is now a growing tendency to emphasize the similarities between him and the logical positivists of the Vienna Circle.1 In particular, it has become usual to classify Quine as an adherent of verificationism, even if it is recognized that his position is somehow different from that of the positivists in being more holistic in character.2 For example, Cheryl Misak in her book-length examination of verificationism writes that ‘the holist [such as Quine] need not reject verificationism, if it is suitably formulated. Indeed, Quine often describes himself as a verificationist’.3 Misak concludes that Quine ‘can be described as a verificationist who thinks that the unit of meaning is large’;4 and when comparing Dummett and Quine, Misak states that ‘both can be, and in fact are, verificationists’.5 Further, it is remarkable that Roger Gibson, arguably the leading expositor of Quine’s philosophy, whose understanding of Quine’s thought has been repeatedly praised by Quine himself, interprets Quine unqualifiedly as a verificationist. Gibson speaks of ‘Quine’s explicit commitment to verificationism’.6 He cites as evidence the following well-known passage 1 from Quine’s famous article ‘Epistemology Naturalized’: ‘If we recognize with Peirce that the meaning of a sentence turns on what would count as evidence for its truth, and if we recognize with Duhem that theoretical sentences have their evidence not as single sentences but as larger blocks of theory, then the indeterminacy of translation is the natural conclusion.’7 And Gibson continues: ‘If this quotation leaves a lingering doubt as to whether Quine would really call himself a verificationist, the following quotation should erase all doubt’.

  • Schopenhauer Edited by Christopher Janaway Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-62106-9 - The Cambridge Companion to Schopenhauer Edited by Christopher Janaway Frontmatter More information the cambridge companion to SCHOPENHAUER Each volume of this series of companions to major philoso- phers contains specially commissioned essays by an inter- national team of scholars, together with a substantial bibli- ography, and will serve as a reference work for students and nonspecialists. One aim of the series is to dispel the intimi- dation such readers often feel when faced with the work of a difficult and challenging thinker. Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860) is something of a mav- erick figure in the history of philosophy. He produced a unique theory of the world and human existence based upon his notion of will. This collection analyzes the related but distinct components of will from the point of view of episte- mology, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, aesthetics, ethics, and the philosophy of psychoanalysis. This volume explores Schopenhauer’s philosophy of death, his relationship to the philosophy of Kant, his use of ideas drawn from both Bud- dhism and Hinduism, and the important influence he exerted on Nietzsche, Freud, and Wittgenstein. New readers will find this the most convenient and acces- sible guide to Schopenhauer currently available. Advanced students and specialists will find a conspectus of recent de- velopments in the interpretation of Schopenhauer.

  • The Cambridge Companion to Ockham
    the cambridge companion to ockham Each volume of this series of companions to major philosophers contains specially commissioned essays by an international team of scholars, together with a substantial bibliography, and will serve as a reference work for students and nonspecialists. One aim of the series is to dispel the intimidation such readers often feel when faced with the work of a difficult and challenging thinker. The Franciscan William of Ockham (c. 1288–1347) was an English medieval philosopher, theologian, and political theorist. Along with Thomas Aquinas and John Duns Scotus, he is regarded as one of the three main figures in medieval philosophy after around 1150. Ockham is important not only in the history of philosophy and theo- logy but also in the development of early modern science and of modern notions of property rights and church-state relations. This volume offers a full discussion of all significant aspects of Ockham’s thought: logic, philosophy of language, metaphysics and natural philosophy, epistemology, ethics, action theory, political thought, and theology. It is the first study of Ockham in any lan- guage to make full use of the new critical editions of his works and to consider recent discoveries concerning his life, education, and in- fluences. New readers will find this the most convenient and accessible guide to Ockham currently available. Advanced students and spe- cialists will find a conspectus of recent developments in the inter- pretation of Ockham. Paul Vincent Spade is Professor of Philosophy at Indiana University.
