    by Daniel A. Di Liscia, Eckhard Kessler ...
    The volume results from a seminar sponsored by the ’Foundation for Intellectual History’ at the Herzog August Bibliothek, Wolfenbüttel, in 1992.

  • God and Intelligence

    by Fulton J. Sheen ...
    In this book, Fulton Sheen addresses what G. K. Chesterton called �the most tremendous question in the world; perhaps the only question in the world:� how man, through the power of reason, can know the nature of God. Tracing the course of philosophy from the Middle Ages to modern times, he shows Thomistic realism to be an adequate response to modern ideals. Emphasizing reason as a way of attaining ... Read more

  • Dante and Philosophy

    by Etienne Gilson ...
    The object of this work is to define Dante's attitude or, if need be, his successive attitudes towards philosophy. It is therefore a question of ascertaining the character, function and place which Dante assigned to this branch of learning among the activities of man. My purpose has not been to single out, classify and list Dante's numerous philosophical ideas, still less to look for their sources ... Read more

  • The Essence & Topicality of Thomism

    by Réginald Garrigou-Lagrange, O.P. ...
    Fr. Réginald Garrigou-Lagrange, O.P., explains why Thomism is the solution to the present crisis of Modernism in the Church. The problem: The indications of the current crisis in the Church have “been not of a crisis of faith, but of a very grave malady of the intellect, which conducts itself on the tracks of liberal Protestantism and through relativism to absolute skepticism.” Fr. Garrigou ... Read more

    The Art of History in Early Modern Europe

    by Anthony Grafton ...

  • Lucretius: De Rerum NaturaBook III

    by Lucretius ...
    Series series Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics
    The third book of Lucretius' great poem on the workings of the universe is devoted entirely to expounding the implications of Epicurus' dictum that death does not matter, 'is nothing to us'. The soul is not immortal: it no more exists after the dissolution of the body than it had done before its birth. Only if this fact is accepted can men rid themselves of irrational fears and achieve the state ... Read more

    The Early Stoics on Wisdom, Sagehood and Socrates

    by René Brouwer ...
    Series series Cambridge Classical Studies
    After Plato and Aristotle, the Stoics, from the third century BCE onwards, developed the third great classical conception of wisdom. This book offers a reconstruction of this pivotal notion in Stoicism, starting out from the two extant Stoic definitions, 'knowledge of human and divine matters' and 'fitting expertise'. It focuses not only on the question of what they understood by wisdom, but also ... Read more

  • Aristotle's Ethics and Medieval Philosophy

    Moral Goodness and Practical Wisdom

    by Anthony Celano ...
    Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics had a profound influence on generations of later philosophers, not only in the ancient era but also in the medieval period and beyond. In this book, Anthony Celano explores how medieval authors recast Aristotle's Ethics according to their own moral ideals. He argues that the moral standard for the Ethics is a human one, which is based upon the ethical tradition and ... Read more

  • Composing the World

    Harmony in the Medieval Platonic Cosmos

    by Andrew Hicks ...
    Series series Critical Conjunctures in Music and Sound
    "We can hear the universe!" This was the triumphant proclamation at a February 2016 press conference announcing that the Laser Interferometer Gravity Observatory (LIGO) had detected a "transient gravitational-wave signal." What LIGO heard in the morning hours of September 14, 2015 was the vibration of cosmic forces unleashed with mind-boggling power across a cosmic medium of equally mind-boggling ... Read more

  • The Performance of 16th-Century Music

    Learning from the Theorists

    by Anne Smith ...
    Most modern performers, trained on the performance practices of the Classical and Romantic periods, come to the music of the Renaissance with well-honed but anachronistic ideas. Fundamental differences between 16th-century repertoire and that of later epochs thus tend to be overlooked-yet it is just these differences which can make a performance truly stunning. The Performance of 16th-Century ... Read more

  • Subverting Aristotle

    Religion, History, and Philosophy in Early Modern Science

    by Craig Martin ...
    How new thinking about history, evidence, and scientific authority depended on undermining the authority of Aristotelianism.“The belief that Aristotle’s philosophy is incompatible with Christianity is hardly controversial today,” writes Craig Martin. Yet “for centuries, Christian culture embraced Aristotelian thought as its own, reconciling his philosophy with theology and church doctrine. The ... Read more
