Pars 1. Contemplativa -- Pars 2. Activa.

A dual-language edition presenting Descartes's original Latin text of his greatest work, with a facing-page authoritative English translation.

Philosophia brings together, for the first time, the work of three major women thinkers of this century, producing a developing commentary on the human condition as an alternative to the mainstream, masculine, philosophical tradition.

The mutual interaction of philosophy and Roman political and cultural life has aroused more and more interest in recent years among students of classical literature, Roman history, and ancient philosophy. In this volume, which gathers together some of the papers originally delivered at a series of seminars in the University of Oxford, scholars from all three disciplines explore the role of Platonism and Aristotelianism in Roman intellectual, cultural, and political life from the second century BC to the third century AD.

The Jesuit Faculty of Philosophy in Cracow has existed since 1934, when it was erected by the Congregation for Seminaries and Universities. For the first 55 years it educated only the Jesuits, but since 1989 it has been opened to the laity as well. A memorial book Philosophia Rationis Magistra Vitae was published to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Faculty of Philosophy with special dedication to its Professors: Fr. Roman Darowski SJ, Fr. Piotr Lenartowicz SJ, and Fr. Stanislaw (...) Ziemiański SJ. All of them have worked at the former Faculty of Philosophy which is now the Faculty of Philosophy of Ignatianum. In these past few years, Fr. Ziemiański and Fr. Lenartowicz have celebrated their 70th birthday, during this year Fr. Darowski will celebrate such jubilee. The book consists of two volumes. The first contains congratulatory letters from Provincials of the Polish Jesuits to the Jubilarians. It also contains a short history of the Jesuit Faculty of Philosophy in Cracow, and provides presentations of the professors celebrating their anniversaries. (shrink)

"Diese Untersuchung ist aus meinem Seminar des Wintersemesters 1916/17 an der Wiener Universitat hervorgewachsen, in dem ich die methodischen Grundsatze einer: Einfuhrung in das scholastische Quellen- und Handschriftenstudium" eben an der Autorfrage der Philosophia pauperum veranschaulichte. Ein Nebenergebnis dieser Studie ist ein Einblick in den philosophischen Unterricht an den deutschen Universitaten und besonders Stadtschulen des ausgehenden Mittelalters." Der Verlag der Wissenschaften verlegt historische Literatur bekannter und unbekannter wissenschaftlicher Autoren. Dem interessierten Leser werden so teilweise langst nicht mehr verlegte Werke (...) wieder zugangig gemacht. Dieses Buch uber die Philosophia Pauperum und ihren Verfasser Albert von Orlamunde stellt einen Beitrag zur Geschichte des philosophischen Unterrichtes an den deutschen Stadtschulen des ausgehenden Mittelalters dar und ist ein unveranderter, hochwertiger Nachdruck der Originalausgabe aus dem Jahr 1918.".

With the excessive emphasis that modern PhD training places on the epistemological contribution of the thesis, a question that arises is: do PhD programmes help PhD students achieve philosophia – “love of wisdom”, or do the programmes just facilitate deepening and developing students’ knowledge? This paper challenges the modern approach to PhD training and by extension all academic research, and considers phronesiology, a wisdom-based approach to research design, to add value to traditional epistemic methodologies. In illustration, we use phronesiology (...) and social practice wisdom principles to reflect on the merits of a recently completed empirical study of wise managerial decision-making. Through a reflective analysis, this paper demonstrates that phronesiology not only allows for contributions to knowledge, but can, as a matter of principle and choice, also increase research practitioner wisdom. In doing so, this may enable researchers to implement better and more comprehensive intellectual and practical outcomes that deal effectively with the economic, social, political, and environmental complexities of the contemporary world. Further, we argue that such a wisdom approach is more “practical” than further instrumentalizing PhD training. The paper offers a series of phronetic reflective questions for PhD researchers in social sciences, especially in organizational and management fields, to consider when designing and carrying out research.

O ponto de partida da Philosophia prima de Hobbes tem como referência a Física e a Metafísica de Aristóteles. O desenvolvimento posterior de sua Philosophia prima, porém, põe em marcha uma crítica da metafísica aristotélica que conduzirá a um remanejamento teórico de uma série de princípios e conceitos herdados da tradição. Considerada em seu conjunto, a filosofia primeira hobbesiana é constituída por uma definição ampla, isto é, a metafísica definida como ciência do ente enquanto ente , sobre a (...) qual duas definições strictu sensu são erigidas: a metafísica como física geral — dizer o ente é dizer o corpo — e a metafísica como representação. Este paper é um esforço no sentido de compreender essas e outras questões concernentes aos estudos hobbesianos sobre a forma como conhecemos o mundo, as coisas e nós mesmos. (shrink)

If philosophy is the only discourse that has ever intended to receive its name from itself, and to leave nothing outside itself, what would be (Western) philosophy's relation to its (Chinese) other? This question is rethought through a rereading of three major Western philosophers, Hegel, Husserl, and Heidegger, and a Chinese philosopher, Feng Youlan. Philosophy is seen, on the one hand, to dialecticize its other but necessarily to fall short of its aim and, on the other, to claim for itself (...) uniqueness and originality but necessarily to be constituted by and through an other. Also, the claim made by the other of philosophy to the rightful title of "philosophy" can also turn out paradoxically to be a claim by philosophy to its other. (shrink)

Meine bisherigen Veroffentlichungen entsprechen nach Reihenfolge und Inhalt meiner eigenen Entwicklung. Nun, da dieser ProzeB voraussichtlich abgeschlossen ist, mOchte ich in einer Art philosophischen Testamentes zusam menfassen, was mir am wichtigsten scheint. Die friiheren Schriften sollen dadurch nicht ersetzt werden; vielmehr hoffe ich, daB diese konzentrierte und systematische Darstellung dazu helfen werde, sie besser zu verstehen. Der Titel des Buches konnte demgegeniiber unangemessen, ja anmaBend erscheinen; er ist aber weder das eine noch das andere. Es handelt sich in der Tat (...) urn Philosophia perennis. Diese aber verwirklicht sich nie anders als in einer bestimmten Gestalt; hier erscheint sie im Beispiel meines eigenen Philo sophierens. Was folgt, erhebt also nicht den Anspruch, die Philosophie, sondern nur den, Philosophie zu sein. Durch gelegentliche Hinweise auf andere Gestalten solI einerseits meine Auf fassung verdeutlicht, andererseits ihre Zugehorigkeit zur Einen Philosophie bekundet werden. Urn Vollsdindigkeit geht es dabei nicht, weder was die Wiir digung der zitierten Philosophen oder Richtungen noch gar was ihre Zahl betrifft. Nach beiden Seiten handelt es sich urn eine Auswahl, welme allein unter dem Gesichtspunkt der Erlauterung und Abgrenzung der eigenen Position getroffen ist. 1m iibrigen bin ich mir der Fragwiirdigkeit solcher Konfrontation bewuBt. Sie griindet sich immer auf eine Interpretation, welche von Subjektivi tat nie absolut frei sein wird. Das Gewicht des Bumes liegt denn auch nicht auf der Kundgabe historisch-kritischer Ansicht, sondern auf der systematischen Dar stellung philosophischer Einsicht, und ich bitte den Leser, dies zu beriicksich tigen.
