Political animality
This essay contributes to contemporary discussions concerning so‐called animal politics by drawing from the history of the notion of political animal. Two different historical meanings of the notion are identified: (1) normative political animality that is intrinsically linked with rationality, language, and justice; (2) biological political animality that focuses on collaboration for the sake of a common aim. The former is applicable only to hum…
Pierre de Jean Olivi, les animaux et le jugement rationnel ou non rationnel
Si l’on prend la rationalité au sens strict et médiéval du terme, les bêtes ne sont pas « rationnelles ». Mais si l’on adopte un sens plus large et actuel de cette notion, alors les auteurs médiévaux s’accordent à attribuer aux animaux des capacités cognitives particulièrement sophistiquées que l’on peut qualifier de rationnelles. Pierre de Jean Olivi relève ainsi que le sens commun des bêtes constitue une puissance de jugement capable de rassemb…
Philosophical Problems in Sense Perception
Philosophical Problems in Sense Perception
This volume focuses on philosophical problems concerning sense perception in the history of philosophy. It consists of thirteen essays that analyse the philosophical tradition originating in Aristotle's writings. Each essay tackles a particular problem that tests the limits of Aristotle's theory of perception and develops it in new directions. The problems discussed range from simultaneous perception to causality in perception, from the represent…
Insults, humour and freedom of speech
In this article we argue that freedom of speech should be understood as a social freedom. In the public discussion after the Charlie Hebdo attacks, it has often been understood as an absolute right to say anything – to offend, to make a fool of others and of oneself, and to express any opinion regardless of the consequences. We challenge this view and propose that advocating freedom of speech without understanding its social foundations is mislea…
Perception and the Internal Senses
In Perception and the Internal Senses Juhana Toivanen advances a detailed philosophical reconstruction of Peter of John Olivi's (ca. 1248-98) conception of the cognitive psychology of the sensitive (i.e. animal) soul. Like most medieval philosophers, Olivi thought that higher animals and human beings have many psychological capacities in common. The book analyses these capacities by concentrating on Olivi's conception of the metaphysics of the so…
Perception and the Internal Senses
The Active Nature of the Soul in Sense Perception
This article discusses the theories of perception of Robert Kilwardby and Peter of John Olivi. Our aim is to show how in challenging certain assumptions of medieval Aristotelian theories of perception they drew on Augustine and argued for the active nature of the soul in sense perception. For both Kilwardby and Olivi, the soul is not passive with respect to perceived objects; rather, it causes its own cognitive acts with respect to external objec…
