Peeters Publishers Vladimir Solov'ev: Reconciler and Polemicist:
Book SynopsisVladimir Solov'ev (1853-1900- is regarded as the most original and systematic of the Russian philosophers in the 19th century. He has once again become the subject of international scholarly attention both in Slavic countries and the West. This volume contains selected papers presented at the international conference on Vladimir Solov'ev held at Nijmegen University, the Netherlands, in September 1998. The scope of this conference was wide-ranging, dealing with theological, metaphysical, philosophical and historical themes. Though Solov'ev's broad intellectual activity defies any strict attempt at categorisation, the editors have classified its major themes under the dual characteristic of reconciliation and polemics. Solov'ev was passionately committed to the reconciliation of all beings under the idea of all-unity, which he attemted to achieve by engaging in uncompromising polemics with his contemporaries, The thirty contributors to this volume are specialists from Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Western Europe and the United States. The volume makes a significant contribution to the intellectual reassesment of Vladimir Solov'ev since the rediscovery of his philosophical heritage in his own homeland in the 1980s.

Peeters Publishers Rencontres: Hegel à l'épreuve du dialogue
Book SynopsisL'ouvrage revisite les concepts fondamentaux de l'hégélianisme à travers des «rencontres» entre Hegel et un certain nombre de ses devanciers, contemporains et successeurs. L'auteur sort d'une lecture simplement immanente de l'oeuvre hégélienne afin d'explorer les contacts explicites ou secrets, réels ou possibles de Hegel avec d'autres auteurs. Cet ouvrage permet de retrouver les qualités de Bernard Mabille qui ont fait sa renommée: des analyses d'une grande clarté, une érudition surprenante de précision, le souci de mettre l'histoire de la philosophie au service d'un programme original: redonner ses lettres de noblesse à la philosophie première.

Peeters Publishers Naturalism and Beyond: Religious Naturalism and
Book SynopsisThis book offers a critical analysis of the varieties of contemporary naturalism - from scientific naturalism to religious naturalism. What are the claims of naturalism apart from its denial of 'the supernatural'? What are the distinctive modes of thought within contemporary religious naturalism? Some argue for a science-based worldview, others for a cosmic view of reality that includes human engagement and religious commitment - with or without God-talk. The book shows how an appeal to what is beyond empirically validated facts resurfaces within most varieties of naturalism. But it also points to the fact that immanentist frameworks are widely presupposed among contemporary theologians who do not describe themselves as 'naturalists'. Rival positions and conflicts of interpretations emerge as to the question of transcendence and the Beyond, and different philosophical theologies are at work - from the strict denial of theism to ground-of-being-theisms to classic and alternative views of the divine.

Peeters Publishers Meister Eckhart, The German Works: 64 Homilies
Book SynopsisThis volume (based on Loris Sturlese's Italian collection from the year 2014) contains the vernacular texts and English translations of 64 of Eckhart's German sermons, which can be linked with the cycle of preaching during the liturgical year (De tempore). A second volume, currently in preparation, will be devoted to a further 56 vernacular sermons for the feasts of the saints (De sanctis). A further volume will contain Eckhart's Latin homilies (both De tempore and the few surviving ones De sanctis). Loris Sturlese and Markus Vinzent will thus provide both the entire vernacular and Latin legacy of 'authentic' homilies, totalling over 100 vernacular and almost 100 Latin sermons. The first volume on the homilies De tempore centres on the time between Advent and Trinity with a major gap in the cycle in the summer time (absent are the weeks V-XV after Trinity Sunday) and gives us Eckhart's preaching in literary form. As the collection has been reconstructed, it seems to go back to a written, arranged, and to a certain extent textualized and published opus, most likely by Eckhart himself. The corpus of sermons that have been relocated into their liturgical place from the critical edition of Kohlhammer represents a work situated midway between oral texts and their professional editor. It opens a door to students and interested readers into the world of Eckhart's liturgical preaching, helped by a thorough general introduction, short prefaces to all homilies and notes.

Peeters Publishers Albertus Magnus, Super Iohannem (Ioh. 1, 1-18)
Book SynopsisLe commentaire du Prologue de l’Évangile de Jean (Jn 1, 1-18) par Albert le Grand (ca. 1200-1280) est l’un des grands textes spéculatifs de la tradition latine médiévale. Le Super Iohannem du Dominicain de Cologne n’était jusqu’à présent disponible, sous le titre d’Enarrationes in Ioannem, que dans l’Editio Lugdunensis de Pierre Jammy de 1651 et dans l’Editio Parisiensis d’Auguste et d’Émile Borgnet de 1899. Il s’agit ici d’offrir au public une édition scientifique visant, d’une part, à restituer un état du commentaire albertien plus proche de l’origine et, d’autre part, à mettre au jour les différents moments de la réception de celui-ci. Cette édition est effectuée à partir des neuf manuscrits actuellement connus qui transmettent l’intégralité du texte ainsi qu’à partir des éditions imprimées. Elle est accompagnée d’une traduction en langue française. L’introduction considère, d’une part, l’authenticité de l’œuvre ainsi que sa datation par les documents historiques et par la chronologie relative; elle analyse, d’autre part, sa structure; elle propose, ensuite, une description des témoins et fonde, enfin, les principes d’édition sur une discussion stemmatique. L’édition du texte elle-même est munie de trois apparats (lieux bibliques, variantes, sources) et de quatre indices (lieux bibliques, auteurs allégués par Albert le Grand et auteurs allégués par l’éditeur, lieux parallèles, index thématique). Deux répertoires séparés fournissent un commentaire des leçons erronées et des variantes commentées. The commentary on the Prologue of the Gospel of John (John 1:1-18) by Albert the Great (ca. 1200-1280) is part of one of the great speculative texts of the medieval Latin tradition. The Super Iohannem of the Dominican of Cologne was previously available as Enarrationes in Ioannem only in Pierre Jammy’s Editio Lugdunensis of 1651 and in the Editio Parisiensis by Auguste and Émile Borgnet of 1899. The aim here is to offer a scholarly specimen-edition of the Prologue aiming, on the one hand, at editing the Albertian commentary that comes closer to its origin and, on the other hand, at revealing the different stages of its reception. This edition is carried out on the basis of the nine manuscripts currently known, which transmit the text in its entirety, as well as on the basis of printed editions. The Latin text is accompanied by a translation of it into French. The introduction considers the authenticity of the work as well as its dating by historical documents and relative chronology; it analyses its structure and proposes a description of the witnesses and, finally, bases the principles of edition on a stemmatic discussion. The text edition itself is equipped with three apparatus (biblical quotes, variants, sources) and four indices (biblical quotes, authors alleged by Albert the Great and authors alleged by the editor, parallel texts, thematic index). Two separate appendices provide a commentary on incorrect readings and variants.

Peeters Publishers Métaphysique et connaissance testimoniale: Une
Book SynopsisCet essai vise à mettre au jour le mode de connaissance du principe qu’Albert le Grand déploie, dans son commentaire johannique, comme réponse à l’aporie des philosophes. Il formule celle-ci à propos du verset Jn 1, 7: «Et, bien qu’en elle-même elle soit très manifeste, cependant, notre intellect est, par rapport à elle, comme les yeux de la chauve-souris par rapport à la lumière du soleil». C’est à partir de la notion de témoignage, dans laquelle il reconnaît la structure même de l’Évangile de Jean, que le maître de Cologne développe la connaissance testimoniale comme voie vers le principe, alternative à la métaphysique. Cette enquête procède à partir des questions suivantes. Du point de vue noétique, comment Albert de Cologne réélabore-t-il la notion de médiation à l’œuvre dans le modèle péripatéticien qui propose de parvenir au principe selon la gradation des sciences physique, mathématique et métaphysique? Il reconnaît, dans la connaissance testimoniale et dans la métaphysique, l’homologie structurelle de la manuduction: toutes deux commencent par les données des sens et de l’imagination qui conduisent l’intellect «par la main» vers le principe divin. Du point de vue anthropologique, en quoi la connaissance testimoniale constitue-t-elle le mode de connaissance du principe adapté à l’intellect humain en tant qu’il est conjoint aux sens et à l’imagination, et non pas en tant qu’il en est séparé? C’est en ce qu’elle s’adresse à l’intellect humain, en tant qu’il est humain, que la connaissance testimoniale diffère de la métaphysique. Elle demeure dans le milieu, ou la médiation, des images. Du point de vue herméneutique, le Docteur universel nomme intelligentia figuralis le mode d’interprétation spécifique des images du principe. S’agit-il d’un art ou d’une science? Du point de vue métaphysique, en érigeant la notion de témoignage en point focal de sa lecture du quatrième évangile, Maître Albert élabore de manière spécifique le concept de médiation dans le contexte johannique. Comment se caractérise cette spécificité par rapport à ce qu’il développe dans ses commentaires aristotéliciens et dionysiens, notamment? En retour, la notion johannique de témoignage est radicalement réinterprétée à la lumière de la théorie cosmologique gréco-arabe de la médiation qu’est le vase de lumière. Qu’en ressort-il quant à la lecture albertienne de l’Évangile de Jean? Le bénéfice de cet essai philosophique consiste à étudier la notion de médiation à partir d’une micro-lecture du verset Jn 1, 7, en mettant en lumière le réseau textuel auquel elle appartient ainsi que la manière transversale dont cette notion circule dans toute l’œuvre d’Albert le Grand – dans le corpus aristotélicien, dionysien, scripturaire – et dans tous les champs de sa pensée – métaphysique, théologique, ontologique, noétique, physique, cosmologique, biologique, minéralogique... This essay sheds light on how Albert the Great in his Johannine commentary unfolds his response to various aporia of philosophers on knowing the principle, drawing on John 1:7 (‘And, although in itself, it is very manifest, yet our intellect is, in relation to it, like the bat’s eyes in relation to the sunlight’). On the basis of the notion of witness, in which he recognizes the very structure of the Gospel of John, the Master of Cologne develops testimonial knowledge as a way to the principle, an alternative to metaphysics. From the noetic point of view, this essay asks how Albert of Cologne redefines the notion of mediation at work in the peripatetic model according to physical, mathematical and metaphysical sciences. Albert recognizes in testimonial knowledge and metaphysics the structural homology of manuduction: both begin with the data of the senses and the imagination that lead the intellect ‘by the hand’ towards the divine principle. How from an anthropological point of view does testimonial knowledge constitute the mode of knowledge of the principle that is adapted to the human intellect as it is joint to the senses and to imagination? Testimonial knowledge differs from metaphysical knowledge insofar as it is addressed to the human intellect. It remains in the realm of mediation and images. How from a hermeneutical point of view, the Doctor universalis calls intelligentia figuralis the specific method of interpreting images of the principle. Is it an art or a science? By making the notion of testimony a focal point in his reading of the fourth gospel, Master Albert elaborates in a specific way the concept of mediation in the Johannine context. How is this specificity characterized compared to what he develops in his comments on Aristotelian and Dionysian thinking? On the other hand, the Johannine notion of testimony is radically reinterpreted in the light of the vase of light, a Greco-Arabic cosmological theory of mediation. This philosophical essay studies the notion of mediation from a micro-reading of John 1:7, highlighting the textual network to which it belongs, as well as the transversal way in which this notion circulates throughout Albert’s work – in the Aristotelian, Dionysian, and scriptural corpus – and in all the fields of his thought – metaphysics, theology, ontology, noesis, physics, cosmology, biology, mineralogy...

Ediciones Lea El anticristo: Una maldición contra el
Book SynopsisIn El anticristo, Friedrich Niezsche presents his sharpest critique of Judeo-Christian morality. Under attack are compassion, weakness, and the beliefs that came to constitute Western society after the death of Christ, as Niezsche calls for a return to the values of aristocracy—power, force, and the search for truth beyond superstition. Polemical and a little mad, this book of Nietzsche's opened up new paths of thought, some of which have yet to be explored.
