Thomas H. Macho Van wie is je leven?
cultuurgeschiedenis van de zelfdoding
Volgens Albert Camus is er maar één serieus filosofisch probleem: de zelfdoding. Van wie is je leven? laat met vele voorbeelden zien welke betekenis suïcide in de westerse cultuur heeft gekregen. Volgens Thomas Macho vond in de twintigste eeuw een belangrijke verschuiving plaats in hoe wij tegen zelfdoding aankijken. We hebben een andere stervenscultuur gekregen. Waar suïcide eerder vooral als uitdrukking van psychologische ziekte werd beschouwd, zien wij haar nu in toenemende mate in termen...

Elsa Giovanna Simonetti A perfect medium?
oracular divination in the thought of Plutarch
An in-depth analysis of oracular divination in Plutarch's thought.

The peculiar nature of Delphic divination as an (im)perfect intermediary between the material and the immaterial world is fathomed in a thorough study of Plutarch's Delphic dialogues. This in-depth philosophical-conceptual analysis will disclose an original interpretation of oracular...

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...
