Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this examination of the reception of Suarez's understanding of the nature and structure of a concept in Cartesian metaphysics, I argue that considerations of being are not excluded from those of thinking in Cartesian metaphysics. My argument exposes a complex ontological terrain in Descartes' Meditationes de prima philosophia by showing what exactly it means for concepts to be, especially when they appear as subjects and predicates in true propositions. In my opening chapters, I articulate the meaning of "objective reality" in the sense that most expresses its accomplishments for the Meditations and for Suarez's Disputationes Metaphysicae. Reading through the lens of the role of "objective reality," it can be seen that the unfolding of the third Meditation follows an implicit but primary objective; establish the ground by which one can say that ideas have demonstrative force with regard to the non-ideal. Ground thus replaces certitude, whereby ontology appears to guide the Meditations rather than the epistemological interpretation which has monopolized its reception since 1641. Similarly, in the Disputations, Suarez’s explicit deployment of "objective being" illustrates the term's function as a descriptor for holding open an ontological terrain for thinking that is neither bereft of necessity and ground, nor tethered to an unjustified realm of its own. I also assess the consequences of the fact that for both philosophers, the structure of concepts reveals a philosophical proximity between objective reality and the question of the ground of the basis for true essential propositions. That a simple distinction become integral to a question that is at the core of any metaphysics indicates a critical and conclusive pathway of interpretation. This path is pushed to the conclusion that the traditional interpretive orientation which places Cartesian metaphysics as the primary turning point away from scholastic thought is challenged by the extent to which we see Suarez and Descartes mired in the selfsame dialogue regarding the being of being known.

Download or read book Philosophische Gotteserkenntnis bei Suárez und Descartes written by Aza Goudriaan and published by BRILL. This book was released on 1999-10-19 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with basic questions regarding the philosophical knowledge of God in Suárez and Descartes, two very different, but historically linked early-modern philosophers. It has two parts devoted to Suárez and Descartes respectively. Each section examines the path along which philosophy can acquire knowledge of God, the adequacy which is ascribed to this knowledge, as well as selected topics of the doctrine of God's attributes. Special attention has been given to both critical and positive reactions to Suárez and Descartes on the part of seventeenth-century Dutch Reformed theologians. The author argues that Descartes, in comparison with Suárez, reduced the theological interests of philosophy and also limited the starting points for attaining to a philosophical knowledge of God. On the other hand, Descartes elevated the presumed adequacy of this knowledge.

Download or read book Collected Studies on Francisco Suárez, S.J. (1548-1617) written by John P. Doyle and published by Universitaire Pers Leuven. This book was released on 2010 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the Jesuit Francisco Suarez (1548-1617) is one of the most important figures of late scholasticism, his work has not received the attention it deserves in English-speaking scholarly literature. One exception to this generalization is found in the work of the American scholar John P. Doyle, whose ground-breaking studies of several important areas of Suarez's complex but highly original system of thought have helped to make the Jesuit's ideas accessible to several generations of historians of philosophy. This volume gathers together Doyle's most important articles on the philosophical theology, metaphysics, ethics, and legal philosophy of Suarez, and is prefaced by an introductory chapter that places the Jesuit's life and thought in context.

Download or read book Suárez’s Metaphysics in Its Historical and Systematic Context written by Lukáš Novák and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2014-08-29 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the importance of Francisco Suárez has been, for some time already, generally recognized even outside the circles of historians of scholasticism, the wider context of his thought – i.e., the rich and diverse Renaissance and Baroque scholasticism – remains largely unexplored. This book is an attempt to contribute to the quest of putting Suárez’s metaphysics (a mere fragment of the whole of his intellectual legacy) into context, historical and systematic. Being the fruit of an international conference held in Prague in October 2008, it puts together a systematically ordered selection of papers devoted to general and specific topics of Suárezian metaphysics, with special respect to its sources and further impact. Part One explores in the first place the notion of being and the nature of metaphysics in general; Part Two then deals with more specific metaphysical topics such as the problem of universals, causality, relations, and God. The book will be of value not just to Suárez-scholars, but to anyone interested in the history of ideas in general and in the the intricacies of metaphysical thought at the verge of modernity in particular.

Download or read book Descartes on Causation written by Tad M. Schmaltz and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-31 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a systematic study of Descartes' theory of causation and its relation to the medieval and early modern scholastic philosophy that provides its proper historical context. The argument presented here is that even though Descartes offered a dualistic ontology that differs radically from what we find in scholasticism, his views on causation were profoundly influenced by scholastic thought on this issue. This influence is evident not only in his affirmation in the Meditations of the abstract scholastic axioms that a cause must contain the reality of its effects and that conservation does not differ in reality from creation, but also in the details of the accounts of body-body interaction in his physics, of mind-body interaction in his psychology, and of the causation that he took to be involved in free human action. In contrast to those who have read Descartes as endorsing the "occasionalist" conclusion that God is the only real cause, a central thesis of this study is that he accepted what in the context of scholastic debates regarding causation is the antipode of occasionalism, namely, the view that creatures rather than God are the causal source of natural change. What emerges from the defense of this interpretation of Descartes is a new understanding of his contribution to modern thought on causation.

Download or read book The Cartesian Semantics of the Port Royal Logic written by John N. Martin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-04 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sets out for the first time in English and in the terms of modern logic the semantics of the Port Royal Logic (La Logique ou l’Art de penser, 1662-1685) of Antoine Arnauld and Pierre Nicole, perhaps the most influential logic book in the 17th and 18th centuries. Its goal is to explain how the Logic reworks the foundation of pre-Cartesian logic so as to make it compatible with Descartes’ metaphysics. The Logic’s authors forged a new theory of reference based on the medieval notion of objective being, which is essentially the modern notion of intentional content. Indeed, the book’s central aim is to detail how the Logic reoriented semantics so that it centered on the notion of intentional content. This content, which the Logic calls comprehension, consists of an idea’s defining modes. Mechanisms are defined in terms of comprehension that rework earlier explanations of central notions like conceptual inclusion, signification, abstraction, idea restriction, sensation, and most importantly within the Logic’s metatheory, the concept of idea-extension, which is a new technical concept coined by the Logic. Although Descartes is famous for rejecting "Aristotelianism," he says virtually nothing about technical concepts in logic. His followers fill the gap. By putting to use the doctrine of objective being, which had been a relatively minor part of medieval logic, they preserve more central semantic doctrines, especially a correspondence theory of truth. A recurring theme of the book is the degree to which the Logic hews to medieval theory. This interpretation is at odds with what has become a standard reading among French scholars according to which this 16th-century work should be understood as rejecting earlier logic along with Aristotelian metaphysics, and as putting in its place structures more like those of 19th-century class theory.

Download or read book Representation and Objects of Thought in Medieval Philosophy written by Henrik Lagerlund and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The notions of mental representation and intentionality are central to contemporary philosophy of mind and it is usually assumed that these notions, if not originated, at least were made essential to the philosophy of mind by Descartes in the seventeenth century. The authors in this book challenge this assumption and show that the history of these ideas can be traced back to the medieval period. In bringing out the contrasts and similarities between early modern and medieval discussions of mental representation the authors conclude that there is no clear dividing line between western late medieval and early modern philosophy; that they in fact represent one continuous tradition in the philosophy of mind.

Download or read book Cartesian Metaphysics written by Jorge Secada and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-04-20 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book-length study of Descartes's metaphysics to place it in its immediate historical context, the Late Scholastic philosophy of thinkers such as Suárez against which Descartes reacted. Jorge Secada views Cartesian philosophy as an 'essentialist' reply to the 'existentialism' of the School, and his discussion includes careful analyses and original interpretations of such central Cartesian themes as the role of scepticism, intentionality and the doctrine of the material falsity of ideas, universals and the relation between sense and understanding, causation and the proofs of the existence of God, the theory of substance, and the dualism of mind and matter. His study offers a picture of Descartes's metaphysics that is both novel and philosophically illuminating.
