J.L.M. van Schaik | Jacob Slavenburg Hermes Trismegistus
Hermopolis, Florence, Leuven, Amsterdam
Hermes Trismegistus, de mythische, centrale figuur in het hermetisme, is niet weg te denken uit onze Europese cultuurgeschiedenis. Hij speelde een belangrijke rol in het denken van onder andere Coornhert, Lipsius, Simon Stevin en Plantijn. Newton en Boerhaave schreven vol lof over hem. Al deze 'vaderen der moderne wetenschap' zagen in Hermes een van de oerwijzen der mensheid. Wie is Hermes Trismegistus? In dit boek wordt de lezer meegenomen in de geschiedenis van de hermetica, vanaf de oorsprong...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Henri Oosthout Kritische geschiedenis van de westerse wijsbegeerte
Een kritische historicus van de wijsbegeerte kan twee wegen bewandelen. In het eerste geval rafelt hij weer uiteen wat anderen hebben gereconstrueerd en herleest hij de oorspronkelijke teksten met onbevangen blik. In het tweede geval tracht hij uit te maken wat de filosofie van blijvende waarde heeft opgeleverd. De auteur van dit werk doet beide. Hij besteedt daarbij aandacht aan onderwerpen die in bestaande overzichten dikwijls stiefmoederlijk worden behandeld. Zo vindt men in dit deel niet alleen...

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...

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...
