Erasmus and Philosophy. On the Concept of Philosophy Developed by Erasmus of Rotterdam
Erasmus of Rotterdam is not typically associated with the discipline of philosophy. Yet, he would himself employ the category of philosophia Christi in the sense of authentic Christianity which had not been contaminated by the abstractness and pedanticism of paganized mediaeval scholasticism. Does this reveal a contrarian attitude to philosophy in general or rather a special understanding of what a "true' philosophy as a way of life should be? Th…
On Types of Certainty
Studies the threefold hierarchy of certainty, from its origins in Mahāyāna Buddhism, through Islam, to 17th century China. This tripartite scheme may be traced back to the ancient Buddhist scheme of the threefold wisdom as systematized by Vasubandhu of Gandhāra in the 4th-5th centuries CE. Following the advent of Islam in the 8th century, it was combined with Qur'anic notions of certainty (al-yaqīn). Initially taken up by early Islamic mystics su…
Regional Responses to U.S.-China Competition in the Indo-Pacific
In this country-level report in a series, the authors assess the impact of the changes in China's strategic behavior and U.S.-China relations over the past decade on Singapore in terms of its security policies and relationships in the Indo-Pacific region. The project also examines how the United States can improve its ability to work with allies and partners to maintain its advantage in long-term competition with China.
Damascius and al-Naẓẓām on the Atomic Leap
Like Damascius’ ἅλματα or leaps, al-Naẓẓām’s (died ca. 849 CE ) doctrine of the leap (Arabic ṭafra ) seems to be an attempt to respond to Zeno’s paradoxes of motion. After a survey of these paradoxes and Aristotle’s responses to them, I discuss some points of resemblance between the physical doctrines of Damascius and al-Naẓẓām. To explain them, I adopt Richard Sorabji’s suggestion of an historical influence by Damascius on al-Naẓẓām. After surve…

Philosophy As a Way of Life
Behind the Veil
This memorial essay on the French historian of philosophy Pierre Hadot (1922-2010) explores his life and work. Starting out from an ecclesiastical background and education, Hadot's interest in mysticism led him to study the late Greek Neoplatonists Plotinus and Porphyry, as well as the Latin Church Fathers. Elected first to the École pratique des hautes études and then to the Collège de France, Hadot developed his most influential idea, that anci…
Teleology and Final Causation in Aristotle and in Contemporary Science
With a view to suggesting the possible relevance of Aristotelian thought to current notions of complexity and self-organization, studies Aristotle's notions of teleology and final causation. After a sketch of the historical process by which such notions were finally rejected in the science of Galileo and Newton, attention is drawn to some contemporary trends in philosophy of science that argue for a return to some (modified) versions of the notio…

Aristote
Plotinus or the Simplicity of Vision
The Roman philosopher Plotinus (c. 205-70) is perhaps best known today for his doctrine of self-transformation through contemplation of the ideal: Never stop sculpting your own statue, until the godlike splendour of virtue shines forth to you. Since its publication in France in 1963 and through subsequent editions both there and abroad, Pierre Hadot's philosophical portrait of Plotinus has established itself as an introduction to the man and his …
