Book Synopsis Nature in Medieval Thought by : Chumaru Koyama
Download or read book Nature in Medieval Thought written by Chumaru Koyama and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with the medieval concept of nature under various aspects ( such as natural law and the foundation of ethics, the metaphysical and theological understanding of nature, final causality and explanation, nature as the object of science) and from different perspectives : Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas, Thierry of Chartres and the philosophy of nature in the 12th century, Henry Bate and William of Ockham, Duns Scotus. This publication is the result of a research project patronized by Waseda University in Tokyo which confronted Japanese and Western views on nature. It was assumed that an intercultural dialogue on nature, which still is a central concept in modern thought, both ecological and ethical, is not possible without an historical understanding of the formation of this concept in medieval culture. The various contributions of Japanese and Western scholars offer the medieval precedents for such a dialogue.
Book Synopsis On the Existence of God by : Robert Geis
Download or read book On the Existence of God written by Robert Geis and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2009-11-11 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The existence of God raises many questions. Geis' work addresses queries that arise from the gratuitous claims of empiricism in Hume, unfounded assumptions in Kant, presumptions of science, and the improbabilities it identifies in Darwinism. By focusing on number and proportion as intrinsic to material and atomic constituency, any argument from chance as instrumental to the cosmos' emergence and sustainability becomes invalidated. The arguments from contingency and the nature of intellection provide more clarity than the ratio Anselmi for acknowledging a transcendent causality, taking the reader to the problem of evil and present-day nihilism. These concepts present great, but not insuperable, difficulty for theism. Geis argues that evil, when one uses it as a means to the betterment of oneself and the world, takes on the rTle commensurate with the doctrine of an omnibenevolent deity. Accordingly, one can use evil as a means to a greater understanding of God, Providence, and eternal destiny.
Book Synopsis Housing the Powers by : Marilyn McCord Adams
Download or read book Housing the Powers written by Marilyn McCord Adams and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-01-27 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Housing the powers? What powers? Soul powers — powers that shape the lives of human souls. They may be housed, and exercised, by those souls or by other agents. This book is about views on that subject developed by Christian philosophical theologians in western Europe from the mid-12th to the early 14th century, with some borrowing of thoughts from their Islamic counterparts. Chapters 1 to 3 discuss in increasing breadth and depth those theologians' views about their own housing and exercise of soul powers. Chapters 4 to 8 discuss their views as to the possibility of some of our soul powers being outsourced — that is, housed and exercised by God or a super-human emanation of God. Chapter 4 is about outsourcing the subject — in an Islamic form that postulated an outsourcing of intellectual thinking from individual human beings to a single intellect that is eternally emanated from God and is the sole thinker of all the thoughts that humans ever think. That theory attracted the interest, though not the agreement, of European Christian philosophers. They found ideas of outsourcing the object, rather than the subject, of religious thought more congenial. The remaining four chapters of the book deal with that more congenial topic. In chapters 5 and 6 the focus is mainly on divine gifts of knowledge and understanding, and in chapters 7 and 8 on gifts of action and willing or desire.

Book Synopsis Duns Scotus on God by : Richard Cross
Download or read book Duns Scotus on God written by Richard Cross and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Franciscan John Duns Scotus (c. 1266-1308) is the philosopher's theologian par excellence: more than any of his contemporaries, he is interested in arguments for their own sake. Making use of the tools of modern philosophy, Richard Cross presents a thorough account of Duns Scotus's arguments on God and the Trinity. Providing extensive commentary on central passages from Scotus, many of which are presented in translation in this book, Cross offers clear expositions of Scotus's sometimes elliptical writing. Cross's account shows that, in addition to being a philosopher of note, Scotus is a creative and original theologian who offers new insights into many old problems.

Book Synopsis The Freedom of God for Us by : Brian D. Asbill
Download or read book The Freedom of God for Us written by Brian D. Asbill and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-12-18 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides an analysis of divine aseity in Karl Barth's thought and appreciates the vital role that this doctrine can play in contemporary theology. Brian D. Asbill begins by setting the general theological context, first through a broad sketch of the development of Barth's understanding of the relationship between the life of God pro nobis (pronobeity) and a se (aseity), and secondly through the examination of the basic theological convictions that guide his approach to the divine being in Church Dogmatics II/1. The second section, 'The Love and Freedom of God', turns to the dialectical pairings which guide Barth's accounts of the divine reality in his earliest dogmatic cycle (The Göttingen Dogmatics §§16-7) as well as in his most mature treatment (Church Dogmatics §§28-31). Particular attention is given to how these themes arise from revelation and relate to one another. In the final section, 'The Aseity of God', Asbill identifies this doctrine's basic features and primary functions. Divine aseity is characterized as the self-demonstration and self-movement of God's life, a trinitarian and entirely unique reality, a primarily positive and dynamic concept, and the manner and readiness of God's love for creatures. Divine aseity is said to indicate God's lordship in the act of self-binding, God's uniqueness in the act of self-revelation, and God's sufficiency in the act of self-giving.

Download or read book Mutuality written by Dawn M. Nothwehr and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2005-07-25 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By selecting as her focus 'mutuality,' Nothwehr brings to the fore an issue of perennial importance in Christian social ethics, that of power. As she shows, feminist theology invites religious ethicists to reconceive normative questions of power from the vantage point of its dynamic, mutual sharing, a sharing that encompasses not only individual relations, but society and the natural world. She also demonstrates how attention to relations of mutuality sheds light on the spectrum of classical Christian theological and moral topics, revealing dimensions of our traditions that standard assumptions about power as domination tend to obscure." --Christine Firer Hinze, Associate Professor of Theology, Marquette UniversityThis book allows 'mutuality' to take its rightful place along with 'love' and 'justice' in Christian social ethics. Written with great clarity, with excellent scholarship, and with the thinking of key historical figures in mind, this book focuses on the thinking of four contemporary Christian feminists--Beverly Wildung Harrison, Carter Heyward, Elizabeth Johnson, and Rosemary Radford Ruether--to show that 'mutuality' is at the heart of ethics. But it does more. It shows that 'mutuality' at the heart of the human, at the heart of the divine, and at the heart of the meeting between the two." --John J. Shea, visiting Associate Professor of Pastoral Care and Counseling, Boston CollegeDawn Nothwehr employs a corrective category, 'mutuality.' At first blush the term would seem too tender and nebulous to address the splits in our consciousness, but this theologian brings well-informed care to its definition. It becomes in her hands a critical tool which can do healing surgery on many foundational categories of Catholic theology, and indeed on much of modern thinking beyond the pale of Catholicism. Mutuality calls attention to the essential interdependency of all that is in our cosmos." --Daniel C. Maguire, Professor of Theological Ethics Marquette University
