Thomas Aquinas has long been understood to have reconciled faith and reason. Typically, he is understood as having provided justification for faith by means of proof, particularly, that the Five Ways prove the existence of God. Under this interpretation, faith becomes a species of justified belief, and the justification for faith rests upon the success of the Five Ways . In this dissertation, I argue that Aquinas' account of faith is not one of justified belief, at least as it is (...) |

In one of the unpublished parts of his manuscript titled the Spicilegia, Arthur Schopenhauer presents an uncharacteristically sympathetic reading of an Aristotelian text. The text in question, De anima III. 5, happens to include the only occurrence of arguably the most controversial idea in Aristotle, namely the distinction between active and passive nous. Schopenhauer interprets these two notions as corresponding to his own notions of the ?will? and the ?intellect? or ?subject of knowledge?, respectively. The result is a unique interpretation, (...) |

It has often been said that the knowability of substances became a problem in the early modern period, when anti-Aristotelians doubted that we could know anything more than the sensory qualities that are present to us.

Second, I argue that his view of contemplation as simple insight is significantly indebted (...) |

Les Études philosophiques est une revue publiée par les Presses universitaires de France. Fondée en 1926 par Gaston Berger et d’abord publiée à Marseille, la revue fut initialement le Bulletin d’une société philosophique régionale. Il s’agissait de rendre compte des travaux locaux tout en assurant la communication des orientations et des résultats de la recherche au plan international. La revue s’est attachée à maintenir cette double vocation, ancrage dans la tradition philosophique et ouverture sur l’actualité de la philosophie en train (...) |
