Epicureanism and scientific debates
antiquity and late reception
Epicureanism is not only a defence of pleasure: it is also a philosophy of science and knowledge. This edited collection explores new pathways for the study of Epicurean scientific thought, a hitherto still understudied domain, and engages systematically and critically with existing theories. It shows that the philosophy of Epicurus and his heirs, from antiquity to the classical age, founded a rigorous and coherent conception of knowledge. This first part of a two-volume set examines more specifically...

Lydia Janssen God is groter dan ons hart
Antonius Jan Glazemaker (1931-2018), aartsbisschop in een tijd van verandering
Lydia Janssen schreef in ‘God is groter dan ons hart’ de biografie van Antonius Jan Glazemaker (1931-2018). Als pastoor, bisschop van Deventer en vooral als aartsbisschop van Utrecht speelde Glazemaker een belangrijke rol in de ontwikkelingen van de Oud-Katholieke Kerk tussen 1950 en 2000. Hoe lukte het hem om de besluitvorming over heikele onderwerpen zoals het wijden van vrouwen tot priester, het zegenen van homoseksuele relaties en de modernisering van de liturgie zo te laten verlopen dat polarisatie...

Summistae
the commentary tradition on Thomas Aquinas’ Summa Theologiae from the 15th to the 17th centuries
Thomas Aquinas' Summa theologiae is one of the classics in the history of theology and philosophy. Beyond its influence in the Middle Ages, its importance is also borne out by the fact that it became the subject of commentary. During the sixteenth century it was gradually adopted as the official text for the teaching of scholastic theology in most European Catholic universities. As a result, university professors throughout Europe and the colonial Americas started lecturing and producing commentaries...

Ioannis Papachristou John Philoponus on Physical Place
This book examines the place of physical bodies, a major topic of natural philosophy that has occupied philosophers since antiquity. Aristotle's conceptions of place (topos) and the void (kenon), as expounded in the Physics, were systematically repudiated by John Philoponus (ca. 485-570) in his philosophical commentary on that work. The primary philosophical concern of the present study is the in-depth investigation of the concept of place established by Philoponus, putting forward the claim that...

Peter de Rivo on chronology and the calendar
Peter de Rivo (c.1420-1499), a renowned philosopher active at the University of Leuven, is today mostly remembered for his controversial role in the quarrel over future contingents (1465-1475). Much less known are his contributions to historical chronology, in particular his attempts to determine the dates of Christ's birth and death. In 1471, Peter made an original contribution to this long-standing discussion with his Dyalogus de temporibus Christi, which reconciles conflicting views by rewriting...

G.J. Stronks Toverij, contramagie en bijgeloof, 1580-1800
geleerde debatten over duivelse zaken
In de tweede helft van de zestiende eeuw nam de vervolging van kwade toverij sterk toe. Sociale en religieuze spanningen, economische malaise, centralisatie en veranderingen in het rechtssysteem hebben eraan bijgedragen dat in Europa tussen 1500 en 1800 ongeveer 45.000 tovenaars ter dood zijn veroordeeld. In de Republiek stopte de vervolging al in 1595. Jan Stronks beschrijft hoe er binnen de Gereformeerde Kerk werd gedacht over toverij. Kwade tovenaars waren mensen die God afzwoeren en met duivelse...

Victor M. Salas Immanent transcendence
Francisco Suárez’s doctrine of being
Long considered one of late scholasticism's most important thinkers, Francisco Suárez has, paradoxically enough, often been treated only in relation to other medieval authors or as a transitional figure in the shift from medieval to early modern philosophy. As such, his thought has often been obscured and framed in terms of an alien paradigm. This book seeks to correct such approaches and examines Suárez's metaphysical thinking as it stands on its own. Suárez is shown to be much more in line with...

Franco Trabattoni Essays on Plato’s epistemology
An Innovating approach to Plato's philosophy. Through a careful survey of several significant Platonic texts, mainly focussing on the nature of knowledge, Essays on Plato's Epistemology offers the reader a fresh and promising approach to Plato's philosophy as a whole. From the very earliest reception of Plato's philosophy, there has been a conflict between a dogmatic and a sceptical interpretation of his work and thought. Moreover, the two sides are often associated, respectively, with a metaphysical...

John P. Doyle On the borders of being and knowing
some late scholastic thoughts on supertranscendental being
Sylvester Mauro, S.J. (1619-1687) noted that human intellects can grasp what is,what is not, what can be, and what cannot be. The first principle, 'it is not possible that the same thing simultaneously be and not be,' involves them all. The present volume begins with Greeks distinguishing 'being' from 'something' and proceeds to the late Scholastic doctrine of 'supertranscendental being,' which embraces both. On the way is Aristotle's distinction between 'being as being' and 'being as true' and his...

Petrus Thomae Petri Thomae Quaestiones de ente
Editio princeps of Peter Thomae's De ente It is generally acknowledged by historians of philosophy that medieval philosophers made key contributions to the discussion of the problem of being and the fundamental issues of metaphysics. The Quaestiones de ente of Peter Thomae, composed at Barcelona ca. 1325, is the longest medieval work devoted to the problem of being as well as the most systematic. The work is divided into three parts: the concept of being, the attributes of being, and the descent...

Critical edition of the earliest known astrological autobiography The present book reveals the riches of the earliest known astrological autobiography, authored by Henry Bate of Mechelen (1246-after 1310). Exploiting all resources of contemporary astrological science, Bate conducts in his Nativitas a profound self-analysis, revealing the peculiarities of his character and personality at a crucial moment of his life (1280). The result is an extraordinarily detailed and penetrating attempt to decode...

Henri Oosthout Het schandaal van de filosofie
hoofdlijnen van het sceptische denken van de oudheid tot heden
Henri Oosthout toont ons in Het schandaal van de filosofie wat filosofische scepsis betekent: het is een twijfel, een opschorting van oordeel op beredeneerde gronden. De lezer wordt in dit magistrale standaardwerk over het scepticisme meegenomen in de ontwikkeling van deze traditie. Het schandaal van de filosofie is niet alleen een formidabele filosofische canon; het is ook een pleidooi voor het behoud van filosofische lichtvoetigheid en het vermogen tot (zelf-)relativering. Een nieuwe, verkorte...
