Arnold Huijgen Maria
Icoon van genade
‘Maria’ van Arnold Huijgen is een theologisch werk over de bijbelse figuur Maria en beschrijft haar vanuit verschillende invalshoeken. Maria is een voorbeeld van geloof en vertrouwen.

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...

Ype de Boer Murakami en het gespleten leven
Haruki Murakami heeft de wereld betoverd met zijn indringende literatuur. Hoe komt het dat zijn verhalen zoveel mensen raken? Alleen omdat ze spannend en goed geschreven zijn, of spreekt de Japanner ook op een dieper niveau aan? Ype de Boer laat zien dat Murakami's verhalen ons iets kunnen leren over een fundamentele gespletenheid in het menselijk bestaan. Deze originele bespreking van Murakami's alledaagse helden, magische figuren en droomachtige sferen nodigt uit om Murakami's fictie op het eigen...

Kristien Suenens Humble women, powerful nuns
a female struggle for autonomy in a men's church
Nineteenth-century female congregation founders could achieve levels of autonomy, power and prestige that were beyond reach for most women of their time. With a subject hidden for a long time behind a curtain of modesty and mystery, this book recounts the fascinating but ambiguous life stories of four Belgian religious women. A close reading of their personal writings unveils their conflicted existence: ambitious, engaged, and bold on the one hand, suffering and isolated on the other, they were both...

Friedrich Nietzsche Het geval Wagner
gevolgd door Nietzsche contra Wagner
In Het geval Wagner zijn twee polemieken gebundeld die de filosoof in zijn laatste scheppingsperiode schreef over een thema dat hem levenslang bezighield: de muziek en de ontaarding ervan in Wagners muziektheater. Polemiek op hoog cultuurfilosofisch niveau, waarin muziek als het allesschragend fundament van de cultuur wordt doorgelicht. De muzikale grootmeester Richard Wagner, die aanvankelijk voor Nietzsche als de belofte gold voor de heropbloei van de Duitse en West-Europese cultuur wordt hierin...

Emanuel Rutten Contra Kant
herwonnen ruimte voor transcendentie
Volgens de filosoof Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) is onze kennis beperkt tot de mogelijke ervaring. De filosoof Emanuel Rutten (1973) ontwikkelt een alternatieve visie op kennis die deze begrenzing aanvecht en die ruimte maakt voor bovenzinnelijke inzichten.

Magdalena Bieniak The soul-body problem at Paris, ca. 1200-1250
Hugh of St-Cher and his contemporaries
The soul-body problem was among the most controversial issues discussed in 13th century Europe, and it continues to capture much attention today as the quest to understand human identity becomes more and more urgent. What made the discussion about this problem particularly interesting in the scholastic period was the tension between the traditional dualist doctrines and a growing need to affirm the unity of the human being. This debate is frequently interpreted as a conflict between the 'new' philosophy,...

Franciscus de Marchia Reportatio IIA
(Quaestiones in secundum librum Sententiarum) qq. 13-27
The texts edited in this volume deal with angelology and anthropology, and particularly with the nature and the functions of immaterial substances like angels and the human rational soul. Marchia discusses such controversial issues as universal hylomorphism, i.e., whether angels and the rational soul are composed of both matter and form (q. 13), the immortality of the soul (qq. 18-19), and the nature and the object of the intellect and will (qq. 20, 21), as well as the functionality of the angelic...

S.W. de Boer The science of the soul
the commentary tradition on Aristotle's De anima, c. 1260 - c. 1360
The transformation of the science of the soul between 1260 and 1360. Aristotle's highly influential work on the soul, entitled De anima, formed part of the core curriculum of medieval universities and was discussed intensively. It covers a range of topics in philosophical psychology, such as the relationship between mind and body and the nature of abstract thought. However, there is a key difference in scope between the socalled 'science of the soul', based on Aristotle, and modern philosophical...
