This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Middle Ages were not only times of military conflicts, the formation of nations, and the rise of the Catholic Church, but also an era defined by profound exploration of what is magnificent and sublime in all aspects of life, including spirituality, aesthetics, architecture, ethics, religion, and philosophy. Rather than focusing extensively on historical events, as is done in many traditional textbooks on the Middle Ages, Medieval Answers to Modern Problems instead focuses on critical issues that have concerned people throughout time, and illustrates how studying the Middle Ages from an interdisciplinary perspective can shed light on contemporary efforts to deal with these issues. Topics covered in this book include the mind-body dichotomy, the relevance of the divine in material existence, interpretations of death and how to cope with death constructively, the pursuit of love in spiritual and earthly terms, and the idea of honor. Initially the Middle Ages seem completely alien to modern ways of thinking, yet they still speak deeply to our need for both human and divine values, and inner growth. The broad range of documents presented in the book will challenge readers, provoke thought, and demonstrate just how much can be learned from the past.

Book Synopsis Medieval Answers to Modern Questions by : Neil J Smith
Download or read book Medieval Answers to Modern Questions written by Neil J Smith and published by . This book was released on 2020-02 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to popular perceptions, the European Middle Ages were a fertile intellectual period in history. The groundwork laid by scholastic philosophers of the Middle Ages made the advancements of the Renaissance possible. Given the myriad of social and political questions confronting us today, the author sent via time machine a letter to a scholastic philosopher to obtain the medieval perspective on these pressing modern problems. This book is the response that he received. It addresses a wide range of modern issues from a medieval perspective, ranging from the political (such as questions relating to socialism, immigration, and the right to bear arms) to the deeply personal (such as abortion and transgender rights). The book is written in the same question and answer style used by the scholastics, and is well researched with over 200 citations to medieval and classical sources.

Book Synopsis The Foundations of Modern Science in the Middle Ages by : Edward Grant
Download or read book The Foundations of Modern Science in the Middle Ages written by Edward Grant and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-10-28 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to prevailing opinion, the roots of modern science were planted in the ancient and medieval worlds long before the Scientific Revolution of the seventeenth century. Indeed, that revolution would have been inconceivable without the cumulative antecedent efforts of three great civilisations: Greek, Islamic, and Latin. With the scientific riches it derived by translation from Greco-Islamic sources in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, the Christian Latin civilisation of Western Europe began the last leg of the intellectual journey that culminated in a scientific revolution that transformed the world. The factors that produced this unique achievement are found in the way Christianity developed in the West, and in the invention of the university in 1200. As this 1997 study shows, it is no mere coincidence that the origins of modern science and the modern university occurred simultaneously in Western Europe during the late Middle Ages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written by a philosopher for other philosophers and for that section of the reading public who buy in large quantities and, no doubt, devour with great earnestness the popular books written by scientists for their enlightenment. We common readers, to adapt a phrase from Samuel Johnson, are fitted neither to criticize physical theories not to decide what precisely are their implications. We are dependent upon the scientists for an exposition of those developments which – so we find them proclaiming – have important and far-reaching consequences for philosophy. Unfortunately, however, our popular expositors do not always serve us very well. The two who are most widely read in this country are Sir Arthur Eddington and Sir James Jeans. They are not always reliable guides. Their influence has been considerable upon the reading public, upon theologians, and upon preachers; they have even misled philosopher who should have known better. Accordingly, it has seemed to me to be worth while to examine in some detail the philosophical views that they have put forth and to criticize the grounds upon which these views are based.

Book Synopsis The Ambiguity of Being by : Jonathan R. Heaps
Download or read book The Ambiguity of Being written by Jonathan R. Heaps and published by CUA Press. This book was released on 2024-02 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debate in Catholic theology over the relationship between the natural and the supernatural has only occasionally engaged with Bernard Lonergan's philosophical and theological contributions on the topic. The Ambiguity of Being argues that more detailed engagement with Lonergan's work implies an oversight in both the 20th- and 21st-century debates. Ambiguity argues the controversy has failed to notice how the problem of the natural and the supernatural is, in fact, two problems. Ambiguity takes both problems in their widest sense to be about action?both divine and human. The first problem asks how God can act in human action. A question for Christians at least since St. Augustine faced the Pelagian controversy, Lonergan retrieved what he understood to be St. Thomas Aquinas' mature solution. It is a solution gathering together a whole series of theological and philosophical developments into a subtle metaphysical theory of divine and human cooperation. But the recent debates have resituated this problem (and various interpretations of St. Thomas's solution to it) in a modern world with modern concerns about culture and politics for the sake of answering a second, intrinsically related, but really distinct question: what is God doing in human action? Ambiguity finds that the recent controversy almost always finds participants attempting to deduce an answer to the second, modern problem from the medieval, metaphysical Thomist solution to the first. By contrast, Ambiguity argues at length the modern problem cannot be reduced to, nor an answer deduced from its medieval, metaphysical partner because the modern problem of the supernatural?what is God doing in human action??is a hermeneutical problem that calls out for a hermeneutical answer. Ambiguity sketches a heuristic for what a fully adequate answer to this question would require, suggesting a radical re-conception of modern theology's scope.
