Abstract

Following the pioneering tracks of John Deely's Four ages of understanding, this essay generates a hybrid model by crossing of Peirce's postmodern concept of mediation and the scholastic Latin Age doctrine of four causes. I then use the model to explain and explore an article from the journal Communio. Peirce's concept provides a unifying framework for the four causes, and allows the investigator to visualize the hierarchical causality inherent in the article's “Latin Age meets postmodern” argument.

Keywords:: Deely; Von Balthasar; Aristotle; four causes; Peirce; scholastic.
