"Meister Eckhart war ein eigenstandiger Denker der abendlandischen Philosophie und Theologie, der als solcher noch nicht wirksam erfasst wurde - was mit den kirchlichen Prozessen und der Rezeption zusammenhangt, die ihn mit mystischen Schwarmereien in Verbindung gebracht hat. Dem "Aufbruch Meister Eckharts ins 21. Jahrhundert" (Georg Steer), den man dennoch erhoffen kann, soll dieser Band dienen. Dazu gehoren die Besinnung auf die grosse ..."
"English summary: Although the Spanish Jesuit Luis de Molina (1535-1600) is considered a major theological advocate of human self-determination as well as a pioneer of economic liberalism, he has received less attention so far than, for example, Francisco de Vitoria (1483-1546) and Francisco Suarez (1548-1617). Significant parts of Molinas legal philosophy are made accessible through this two-volume edition and translation of tractates I ..."
"English summary: One of the classical concepts of justice is justice in exchange. Giving and taking however are lacking in equivalence if the justifiable expectation is reduced unilaterally. Augustine taught that absolution initially required atonement. This is where the treatise De restitutione in Francisco de Vitoria's Summa begins. His influence is enormous: The fact that in the Early Modern Age a clearly defined legal institution fo ..."

"Sebbene i dibattiti medievali tra i difensori del potere laico e il Papato siano stati studiati dagli storici del pensiero politico, resta ancora da esaminare la questione del rapporto tra laicità e filosofia in quel periodo. Quale istruzione i chierici hanno trasmesso ai laici? In che modo questi ultimi si sono appropriati della filosofia? Quali sono le politiche e la produzione culturali dei chierici destinate ai laici? E in che modo ..."
"Les Provinciales de Pascal (1656-1657) ont diffusé une présentation hargneuse de Luis de Molina, dont la présente édition tente de donner un portrait plus juste. Luis de Molina est l'un des principaux acteurs de la résurgence de la scolastique dans la péninsule ibérique. Né en 1535 à Cuenca, il entre dans la Compagnie de Jésus en 1553. Il enseigne la philosophie puis la théologie à Coimbra et obtient une chaire au collège d'Evora. Moli ..."
"English summary: The publication of the second Quodlibet by the Franciscan Richard de Mediavila (1248-1300) was necessary because of growing interest in the texts and the circumstances under which they were written. Composed of thirty-one questions, the second Quodlibet is the longest. The editor uses the same manuscripts as the Premier Quodlibet which helps to highlight the deficiencies in the earlier printed edition. French descriptio ..."
"English summary: Since its discovery and first publication in Italy in 1970, Peter Olivi's Tractatus de contractibus has received widely divergent appreciation. Olivi was one of the most innovative thinkers of the latter third of the 13th century.From physics to metaphysics, to Biblical exegesis, Olivi was capable of questioning and overthrowing common perceptions. French description: Depuis sa decouverte et sa premiere publication en I ..."
"English summary: Theology develops in debate, in lore on difficulties and conflict. In 18 articles the theologians of the 2nd to the 15th century are introduced. These have added decisively to solve imminent questions. After a biographical overview and placement in the historical context each author's position to his topic is laid out through the chief. Historical breaks from Nicaea to Nominalism frame the work and show the in depth the ..."
"Dans ce traite de la fin du XIIIe siecle, le dominicain allemand veut resoudre de maniere strictement philosophique le probleme traditionnel de la vision beatifique. Cette demarche radicale qui, a elle seule, meriterait deja d'attirer la curiosite scientifique n'epuise cependant pas tout le potentiel d'interet historique que recele le De visione beatifica. Lorsque, des les premieres lignes, l'auteur pretend que, quand ils parlent de l'i ..."
"English summary: This bilingual Latin-French edition completes the publication of Richard of Mediavilles corpus of disputations. In this final volume, the medieval Franciscan focuses on the composition of the human mind and spirit in substantial form. Specific texts address the form of the soul, the externalization of knowledge, and the moral problem of the judicial and political use of individual confessions. French description: ..."
"English summary: The Medieval controversies that opposed the defenders of laicism to the papacy have been well-studied by historians of political thought. However, these discussions so far have neglected the question of the relationship between laicism and philosophy in the Middle Ages. To integrate this dimension into the history of philosophy, this volume closely examines the modes of instruction used by churchmen to teach lay persons ..."
"Ce deuxieme volume des Questions disputes est capital dans le systeme de l'auteur: il introduit des nouveautes conceptuelles radicales: les notions de principe purement possible, d'esse diminutum (que je traduis par etre en maquette), l'idee de scheme cognitif (ainsi entend-il la species) et l'esquisse d'une theorie du mouvement. Les questions publiees ici traitent de deux themes: aux questions 9 et 10, l'auteur s'interroge sur la natur ..."
