The Nature of True Virtue
Author: Jonathan Edwards
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1725208571
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
A major work in moral philosophy by the Puritan who was the most modern man of his age. Edwards at his very greatest . . . he speaks with an insight into science and psychology so much ahead of his time that our own can hardly be said to have caught up with him. Perry Miller, 'Jonathan Edwards' Like the great speculators Augustine, Aquinas, and Pascal, Jonathan Edwards treated religious ideas as problems not of dogma, but of life. His exploration of self-love disguised as true virtue is grounded in the hard facts of human behavior. More than a hellfire preacher, more than a theologian, Edwards was a bold and independent philosopher. Nowhere is his force of mind more evident than in this book. He speaks as powerfully to us today as he did to the keenest minds of the eighteenth century.

The Virtues of a Religious Superior
Author: Saint Bonaventure
Publisher: Aeterna Press
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 67
Book Description
As an intelligent man, who frequently becomes wiser through the folly of others, finds even in trifling occurrences matter for increasing his store of knowledge, so newly appointed superiors, who may not be fully prepared for distinguishing between what is right and what is wrong in the discharge of their duties, may find inducements in this treatise to give the matter more earnest reflection and seek from the study of the imperfections here described to acquire a better knowledge of the higher and more useful things as well as of many others necessary to a religious superior in the government of inferiors. For we read that scientists have been led to deduce certain practical principles from the careful study of the habits of certain animals. Aeterna Press

Aristotle on Substance
Author: Mary Louise Gill
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 9780691020709
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
This book explores a fundamental tension in Aristotle's metaphysics: how can an entity such as a living organisma composite generated through the imposition of form on preexisting matterhave the conceptual unity that Aristotle demands of primary substances? Mary Louise Gill bases her treatment of the problem of unity, and of Aristotle's solution, on a fresh interpretation of the relation between matter and form. Challenging the traditional understanding of Aristotelian matter, she argues that material substances are subverted by matter and maintained by form that controls the matter to serve a positive end. The unity of material substances thus involves a dynamic relation between resistant materials and directive ends. Aristotle on Substance offers both a general account of matter, form, and substantial unity and a specific assessment of particular Aristotelian arguments. At every point, Gill engages Aristotle on his own philosophical ground through the detailed analysis of central, and often controversial, texts from the Metaphysics, Physics, On Generation and Corruption, De Anima, De Caelo, and the biological works. The result is a coherent, firmly grounded rethinking of Aristotle's central metaphysical concepts and of his struggle toward a fully consistent theory of material substances.
