Cicero
De officiis, the last text written by Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 BCE), addresses the central topics of ancient ethics. It engages with Stoic philosophy to examine the requirements of virtue and utility, and their relationship to one another. In the process, Cicero develops a differentiated theory of obligations that will also have considerable influence on the development of modern deontology (in texts by authors like Immanuel Kant)
Varieties of Voluntarism in Medieval and Early Modern Philosophy
"This book considers different forms of voluntarism developed from the 13th to 18th centuries. By crossing the conventional dividing line between the medieval and early modern periods, the volume draws important new insights on the historical development of voluntarism. Voluntarism places a special emphasis on the will when it comes to the analysis and explanation of fundamental philosophical questions and problems. Since the Middle Ages, volunta…

Free Will and the Rebel Angels in Medieval Philosophy, by Tobias Hoffmann
Spot the Differences!
The Corpus Aristotelicum contains several voluminous works which centre on animals, especially on their bodily parts, their behaviour, their generation, their movements, etc. These biological writings are a treasure trove for anyone looking for detailed information about human physiology and psychology, insofar as man is an animal (zōon).1 But do the rich empirical observations in Aristotle's biology add up to a philosophically significant contri…

Die Dimension des Sozialen
Feeling, wanting, and acting are typically understood solely in terms of the individual. What does it mean, then, when we share feelings, have a common goal, or act jointly? This volume addresses the social dimension of these phenomena from diverse philosophical perspectives and from a sociological viewpoint. It reveals that sociality plays a constitutive part in our feeling, wanting, and acting.

Aquinas and the Nicomachean Ethics
Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics is the text which had the single greatest influence on Aquinas's ethical writings, and the historical and philosophical value of Aquinas's appropriation of this text provokes lively debate. In this volume of new essays, thirteen distinguished scholars explore how Aquinas receives, expands on and transforms Aristotle's insights about the attainability of happiness, the scope of moral virtue, the foundation of moralit…

Willensschwäche in Antike und Mittelalter
Mit ‘Willensschwäche’ wird gemeinhin eine Situation gekennzeichnet, in der jemand wider besseres Wissen bzw. gegen seinen eigenen Vorsatz handelt. Die philosophische Relevanz dieses Alltagsproblems liegt in der damit verbundenen Infragestellung unseres Selbstverständnisses als rationale Akteure sowie in der Frage nach den involvierten handlungstheoretischen und psychologischen Erklärungsmustern für ein solches Handeln. Dieses Buch bietet die erst…

Fraqueza da vontade no voluntarismo? Investigações sobre João Duns Scotus
Neste estudo, investiga-se a possibilidade de uma análise, por parte de Duns Scotus, do clássico problema de filosofia moral localizado na fraqueza da vontade. Argumentando de modo crítico para a identificação do tema na ética scotista, o autor acaba por expor, com isso, as premissas centrais de toda a metafísica da vontade e a ética da liberdade de Duns Scotus. PALAVRAS-CHAVE – Fraqueza da vontade. Vontade. Liberdade. Voluntarismo. Teoria da açã…
Möglichkeit Und Notwendigkeit Der Existenz Gottes
O autor analisa a validade de uma certa variante do “argumento ontológico" deAnselmo, a saber, a versão lógico-modal de Charles Hartshorne (1897-2000). Ele investiga, primeiramente, a origem dos argumentos de Hartshorne, partindo de uma interpretação de Anselmo; em segundo lugar, o argumento lógico-modal é apresentado, junto com as suas pressuposições e implicações. Finalmente, o autor propõe uma avaliação da abordagem de Hartshorne
A greener South Africa? Environmentalism, politics & the future
In a world of dehumanising poverty, collapsing ecological systems, and deeply stressed social structures, social movements are attempting to transform the structures and values that are identified as the underlying causes of these symptoms. The green or environmental movement seems to fit the label of a social movement. The environmental concern in the form of a scenario and a prescription, emerged during the 1960s and 1970s. A distinction is mad…
