Conversion et spiritualités

dans l’Antiquité et au Moyen Âge

Michel FATTAL, Paris: L’Harmattan, « Ouverture Philosophique », 2017

Description

Comment comprendre le phénomène particulier de la conversion au sein de différentes formes de spiritualités issues de milieux culturels et linguistiques variés ? Le présent ouvrage procède à une lecture philosophique et à une analyse précise de la notion de conversion dans la philosophie grecque païenne de Platon et de Plotin, dans certains textes fondateurs du judaïsme et du christianisme, chez le Pseudo-Macaire et chez Augustin d’Hippone, ainsi que dans la philosophie arabo-musulmane représentée par Al-Farâbî et Al-Ghazâlî.

The Theory of Will in Classical Antiquity

Albrecht Dihle, Berlin: De Gruyter, 1982

Description

The concept of the will as a faculty of mind independent of the intellect or the emotions was never employed by ancient Greek thinkers. Professor Dihle investigates what the Greeks did think about voluntary activity, how they were able to work without the concept of the will, and the difficulties they encountered because of the lack of such a concept. His six chapters – Cosmological conceptions in the Second Century A. D., The Greek View of Human Action I, The Greek View of Human Action II, St. Paul and Philo, Philosophy and Religion in Late Antiquity and St. Augustine and His Concept of Will – take him virtually through the whole of Greek literature, from Homer through Plato and Aristotle and later philosophers, trough the early Christian writers, and finally into the Roman tradition. The study culminates with St. Augustine, who first used by modern thinkers, to point to the very essence of the moral self of man. Professor Dihle’s work combines immense intellect and learning with great clarity of exposition. His book will gain a wide readership among those interested in philosophy, religion, and classical studies.

From Augustine to Eriugena 

Essays on Neoplatonism and Christianity in honor of John O’Meara

Martin, F. X., Richmond, J. A., Washington: The Catholic University of America Press, 1991

Description

In 1984 a group of John O’Meara’s colleagues decided to mark the occasion of his retirement from the chair of Latin in University College, Dublin, by the publication of a volume of essays. This book concentrates on Augustine and Eriugena, the two authors on whom he worked and with whom his international reputation is associated. Just as Augustine and Eriugena each tries to reconcile in his own individual way the Christian faith with the wisdom of the Graeco-Roman world, so this volume finds its focus.

The Relationship Between Neoplatonism and Christianity 

Thomas Finan, Vincent Twomey (ed,), Dublin: Four Courts Press, 1995

Description

This book is devoted to the papers read at the first patristic conference held in Ireland. The theme was the relationship between Neoplatonism and Christianity, a topic that in recent scholarship has been the centre of controversy. The main lines of that controversy are discussed by James McEvoy, Professor of Ancient and Medieval Philosophy in Louvain, in a refreshingly new way that throws unexpected light on the complex topic and shows its relevance for today. John Dillon, Professor of Greek, Trinity College Dublin, examines the influence of Platonism on Plotinus and Origen in order to demonstrate the originality of the Christian philosopher. One of the foremost experts on Eriugina, Dermot Moran, Professor of Philosophy, University College Dublin, discusses the influence of Origen on the great Irish mediaeval scholar. The difficulty of speaking about God is explored by Fran O’Rourke, Lecturer in Philosophy, University College Dublin, on the basis of the speculations of Pseudo-Dionysius. The incomprehensibility of God in the writings of Gregory of Nyssa is discussed with great originality by the Newman Scholar, Deirdre Carabine. Original also is the contribution of Thomas O’Loughlin who examines the little known interest of St Augustine in astrology and the part it played in his conversion. Augustine is likewise the subject of the noteworthy contribution by Eoin Cassidy, lecturer, Mater Dei Iinstitute, Dublin, to the debate about the nature of friendship and the recovery of classical themes in the writings of the Bishop of Hippo.
