Full textIn order to understand the topography of Christian buildings within Towns of North Africa in Late Antiquity, we chose, on the basis of archeological informations, to point to practical and daily life of the Christian or Christian community. Since then, many questions came up : what process leads to the decision and how is the location chosen within the urban network ? Did the Christian community have the opportunity of such a choice ? What could be the practical implications of its devotional life ? Could the churches built in such locations be in harmony with Christian worship so as to contribute to its blooming ? and so on and so forth. Apparently churches did not change drastically the urban environment except in their very premices and even so in a quite neutral way. Thus, for example, if a church is built on a street, we can consider that it comes to alters the urban organisation. On the other hand, when it re-uses an old building such as a temple or thermae, neglected or inactive, we noticed that the implantation was taking place inside the building whereas most of the time the ouside appearance was left untouched : then the city's image was respected in its monumental components. According to a certain number of observations set out from this research, it finaly occurs to us that though christianism settled in the heart of urban daily life, for it does not mean necessarily a concern for ostentatious visibility or systematic search for an " architecture of power ". On the opposite it gives us the impression that Christian's presence is deeply rooted in daily life just as the other inhabitants of the city they fully belonged to

Full textThis study seeks to contribute to a better understanding and comprehension of the idea of divine simplicity, which means the absence in God of any composition. Cornerstone of medieval theological thinking, divine simplicity was rediscovered 35 years ago by philosophers of analytical leanings, who challenged its coherence. It has since formed the subject of abundant philosophical debate, however, the detour via the history of philosophy is necessary in order to draw out the network of concepts, arguments and issues, from where divine simplicity derives its meaning. After the study of the first development of this idea in ancient and patristic texts, and its treatment by Peter Lombard on the eve of the 4th Council of Lateran in 1215, which integrates for the first time divine simplicity in a genuin profession of faith of the magisterium, we shall focus on the works of Bonaventure of Bagnoregio and Thomas Aquinas, who grant this divine attribute a founding role in the study of the mystery of God. The idea of divine simplicity keeps being comprised in the dialectics of similarity and dissimilarity between Creator and creature. While Aquinas associates in an unilateral way absolute simplicity and transcendence of the uncreated, Bonaventure offers also created resemblances of divine simplicity which favour its intuition. Far from appearing incoherent, the idea of divine simplicity is a powerful means to open our minds to a level of superior reality, indeed mysterious, but nevertheless radiant

Full textThis work (3 vol. , 1200p. ) gives the critical edition (vol. 2, 517 p. ) of Mystery of saint-Peter et saint-Paul, preserved by two printed books published in Paris by the Veuve Trepperel and Jean Janot House (between 1512-1519). This long Mystery, which contains 16724 lines, almost all octosyllabes, and whose author is unknown, was problaly written, or refact from a previous center, about 1470, by an author from Normandy or/and Picardy. The narrative follows closely the stories and tales of biblical Acts of Apostles end of Golden Legend, nevertheless with relevant variations that literary study tries to explain on the base of the peculiar religious context in the second middle of the15th century. A large linguistic, literary and dramaturgic commentary comes with the edition, by the form of an introduction (vol. 1, 428 p. ), notes, glossary and indices (vol. 3, 253 p. )
Peronneaud, Jean. "Du dieu slave Volos à saint Blaise en Russie : dieux païens et saints chrétiens." Paris 4, 1988. http://www.theses.fr/1987PA040455.
Full textThe history of religions traditionally turns the saints into god's successors. Thus, to the pagan god Volos, the cattle's god and Perun, the thunder god, would, in Russia, succeed saint Blasius, the cattle's protector, and saint Elijah, the thunder patron. Recent Russian studies represent these two almost unknown gods as the avatars of heroes of an Indo-European myth, the one of the thunder god running after the snake. The analysis of those studies from comparative mythology makes us have doubts about their results: we think we know nothing about Volos. His function as cattle's god would itself originate from the first Christian scolars who would in this way project on the god the function at the saint. In the same way, the features attributed to Perun would be nothing else than those of saint Elijah: thus, the saints are not the god's successors, but it's the gods who become the saints's successors. An analysis of the cult of the saints from the folklore invites us to see in the use of their names a language aiming at humanizing nature. This study concludes itself by a present theological interpretation of the cult of the saints. The "witnesses" could act as the martyrs then the saints did at their time in Christianism
Ismael, Afraa. "Le problème du temps chez Saint Augustin et Saint Thomas d’Aquin." Thesis, Bordeaux 3, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013BOR30046.
Full textThis thesis has for aim to explore the problematic of the time within the reflections of St Augustine and St Thomas Aquinas that are both seen as a key link between the philosophical thought of the antiquity and the contemporary period. It will firstly analyze the theories developed by these two philosophers on the concept and the measure of the time, to give an answer to the question: has the time a reality and how to measure it?Through a deep analyze of the two philosophers’ corpus referentials, this study will try to determine if it is possible to find the answer in the changing, the motion, the succession, the duration, the moment and the present or if we rather have to see the time as a shape of the objective world or as a scheme of the apprehension depending on the subject. The first part of this work will answer the question whether the time reflects the properties of the objective world itself or those of the subjective world or might it be the result of the links we have with these two worlds. The second will analyze the problematic of the time between its origin and its end (the creation and the eternity). We will try to know if it is possible to show that the philosophical analysis of the time made by these two authors cannot be seen as an independent instant but a way to reconsider the subject of the time in a theology of creation and eternity.In a broad analysis of the four themes that are, the reality, the measure of the time, the creation and the eternity and some specifics and close concepts, we will determine if it is possible to say that there is an absolute gap between the time as a cosmic category and the time as a psychological one. We will show precisely if it is possible to say that the St Augustine and St Thomas Aquinas’s thoughts can be looked as two different theories, the one which sees the time as a subjective reality and allows St Augustine to be considered one of the most significant founders of the phenomenology of the time unlike St Thomas Aquinas who demonstrates the time's objective reality, in the continuity of the Aristotelian objectivity of the time

Full textWe aim here at giving an idea of the evolution of sprirituality through centuries since the Middle Ages. Using literary evidences and movies we wanted to find out what make pilgrimof today different from pilgrims of the Middle Ages. First and foremost we tried to understand the real motivations of pilgrims. Our first question was : Do pilgrims of today share the same ones as pilgrims of yesterday ? Pilgrims of the Middle Ages had at their time many different reasons to take the road towards Santiago de Compostela. Some where, for instance, looking for redemption, hoping a miracle whereas others did it for political reasons. But pilgrims nowdays don't walk for political reasons any more. Most of them just want to take a good walk or need to feel themselves closer to Mother Nature. However it remains a very hard challenge for all. New dangers effectively threaten them on the orad although modern equipments make now the crossing of natural obstacles, like rivers or mountains (the so-called "loca horribila"), quite easier than before. If highwaymen are not to be feared any longer, falling in with dishonest false pilgrims (people using tourist traps to dupe exhausted pilgrims) may always happen. Pilgrims of today are really quite different from pilgrims of the Middle Ages. Their feet are no more accustumed to covering so great distances. Moreover, carrying rucksacks is a real ordeal. Nevertheless they share the same spiritual quest as pilgrims of yesterday. It has just taken different forms through the centuries. Anyway that pilgrimage knows a real revival today. Its future looks so promising that we will probably see for a long time yet courageous and anonymous people following in pilgrim footsteps, marching on the road to Santiago de Compostela
Gardner, Elinor. "Saint Thomas Aquinas on the Death Penalty." Thesis, Boston College, 2009. http://hdl.handle.net/2345/712.
Full textCatholic moral philosophers and theologians for centuries used Thomas Aquinas's defense of the death penalty as a point of reference in defending the state's right to execute. Recent Church documents such as Evangelium Vitae, however, seem to take a different approach to the question than Aquinas did. In secular contemporary treatments of the death penalty, Aquinas's account is often caricatured or simply overlooked. One of the reasons for this is the lack of a thorough treatment of the death penalty in the thought of Aquinas. This dissertation seeks to address that deficiency. I present Aquinas's account of capital punishment as an example of determining civil punishments through the exercise of practical reason. Aquinas's thought sanctions neither an absolute acceptance nor an absolute rejection of the death penalty; for him, this is not a question that admits of absolutes. Like other punishments, the death penalty is a determination made by human reason. Its justification depends on specific historical and cultural circumstances and on the needs of the political community, as well as on the severity of the offense. Killing a guilty person is not intrinsically evil, in Aquinas's view, but it is nonetheless a last resort, when nothing else can be done for the good of the community. It may be that recent Church documents have avoided making use of the Thomistic teaching on the death penalty, even where this could have made their reasoning clearer, for fear that such arguments would be misunderstood, or in order to make a clearer case for forgoing the penalty. If this dissertation contributes to our understanding of what Thomas actually says about CP, it will be helpful in reconciling the thought of John Paul II with the tradition of Catholic thought on capital punishment, as well as in offering a reasonable way for thinking about punishments in general

Holstein, John. "Les grands saints successeurs de Saint Patrick en Irlande." Rennes 2, 1990. http://www.theses.fr/1990REN20011.
Full textOften characterized by their widespread culture, their prolific literary works as well as their distinct originality, the early medieval Irish have never ceased to intrigue historians of Celtic Christianity. From the arrival of Sant Patrick in the fifth century up to the council of Cashel in the twelfth, Christian Ireland enjoyed the attributes of a highly unique civilization resulting from the union of both Celtic and Judaeo-Christian traditions. Using authentic legal and ecclesiastical documents in the Irish language, the author proposes a methodical investigation into the spiritual reality behind the golden age of Irish saints. This study has a twofold purpose: firstly to explore and analyse the ties between the early medieval Christian community and its mythological past, secondly to reveal the influence of these ties upon the evolution of Irish monasticism. Far from being exhaustive, the main objective of our thesis is to throw light on some of the least considered and often misunderstood aspects of medieval Ireland

Full textThe canonists of the middle ages have drawn from the roman law the elements which allowed to come to the conception of persona ficta the of persona representata. This thesis invites to wonder if the theory is not fed between those centers - roman law scholarly law - of a more recent past than the antiquity : the early middle ages which presents an experience not much studied until now. We have chosen the experience of the saint philibert community, from the beginning (677) to the year one thousand (989) in order to set some milestones in the history of the origins of the notion of legal entity. Vicissitudes of this congregation, connected with its peregrinations, strengthen the cohesion whose legal traduction is demonstrated through the diplomas, the bulls and private deeds which are addressed to it. This cohesion is originally built and stabilized thanks to the founder, through his relics and his rules. The second step consists in the constitution of the land patrimony, for the legal status of the monasteries is a matter for the study of ecclesiastical estate. The notion of assigning properties to a pious use which warrants the unity of the patrimony strengthens the legal mechanism of the monastic foundation

Em um primeiro momento, é apresentada a concepção tomista da metáfora, através do recurso a quatro intérpretes do Aquinate (Penido, McInerny, Cruz e Duffy). Em um segundo momento é apresentada a concepção de Paul Ricoeur, especialmente em A metáfora viva. Na parte final do trabalho, são comparadas a incorporação da imagem no discurso especulativo (valor especulativo da metáfora) e a relação metáfora-ontologia (fundamento ontológico da metáfora) nos dois autores.

Ndombe, Diasivi Lopez. "La conception de la justice selon saint Thomas d'Aquin." Paris 4, 1995. http://www.theses.fr/1995PA040042.
Full textIt has been demonstrated throught our research the problems to find of saint Thomas true originality on the matter of justice. Those problems lay principally in the question of knowing if his doctrine on justice is Christian or profane. By analyzing his Somme theologique, we notice that Aristotle inspired saint Thomas. Because of this influence, we doubt about the Christianity of saint Thomas work on justice. We also have to recognize that saint Thomas has been inspired by saint Paul on the on the matter of the meaning of man. If Aristotle believes in getting to justice with the obedience of the law, saint Thomas is from Aristotle’s point of view. This why we have developed throughout an work an the doctrine of the law, philosophically and theological, but we have found that saint Thomas has formed his doctrine with the help of these two positions
Humbrecht, Thierry-Dominique. "Théologie négative et noms divins chez saint Thomas d'Aquin." Paris, EPHE, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004EPHE5041.
Full textNegative theology endeavors to designate all that cannot be said about God. The question is that of the articulation and of the respective extension of what can be asserted, and of what must be negated. Do the attributes of perfection referred to God attain Him in truth, or must one go beyond them? Are they the object of a speculative labour or of a mystical union, which cannot be put in words? And what about the vocabulary of “negative theology” absent in many author? Negative theology is the object of a large and renewed research. Platonism and its reception, medieval authors, and, above all, the heideggerian reading of the history of metaphysics concur to this renewed research. Thomas Aquinas is at the intersection of these questionings. Is there a negative theology in the works of Saint Thomas? And if there is one, which one is it? Can it be identified with the question of the divine names? “Of God, we know not what He is, but only what He is not”: this Thomistic formula, which has become emblematic, comes from Plotinus (through Augustine, Damascene, and Maimonides). Is Thomas original? To find out, one must situate him among his contemporaries. More over, the risk is to take in consideration only a few famous texts, rather than to ascertain their insertion in the works, and the insertion of each work in the entire corpus. A global and comparative study had yet to be done. God, Saint Thomas tells us, is “totally unknown” for us. However, his negative theology seems rather to be e negative way. The set of negative modalities is brought to confirm the primacy of the positive attribution of the divine attributes of perfection as it corrects it

Nevertheless, christian women found themselves subordinated or subjected to men, on the other hand, whenever the same theology and the same church wandered away from the gospel to draw the elements of their theories and moral rules from prechristian cultures and particularly from the old testament

Full textThe reflection of saint Thomas Aquinas on eternity and time, which cannot be reduced to its interpretation in the modern Thomist school, leads to express the intimate unity of the two terms and at the meantime to claim the infinite distance between them. This reflection is based on the discovery of the actus essendi, key concept in Thomas' philosophy. Phenomenological approach helps to grasp the major role of the human consciousness in Thomas' conception of creation and of relation to the divine transcendence. Heidegger systematically rejected the philosophical relevance of time/eternity opposition, particular to Western dualistic metaphysics. His reflection on the conjunction of being and time leads to postulate the difference in the identity of Ereignis without reconsideration of the finitude of being. The particular tension of Heidegger's concept of time can be paralleled with Thomas's conception of the relation between time and eternity, on condition that the main delimitations of both thinkers are respected

Full textWhen natural law is taken into consideration by contemporary moral and legal theories, it is often with the objective to provide a foundation to the assertion that « lex injusta non est lex ». Leo Strauss offers a genesis of this depoliticized interpretation of natural law, thus contrasting with what he calls « the essentially political character of the classic natural right doctrine », especially in Aristotle. For him, this depoliticization dates back to stokism, but also and mainly to christianism : with the intervention of a provident and legislator God, the classic natural right teaching has tumed into a natural law doctrine, and so it would have lost its political dimension, such as it vvould be the case in Saint Thomas Aquinas' teaching of natural law. Our aim is to show, on the contrary, the essentially political dimension of the natural law thomistical doctrine, in its double aspect : at first Thomas Aquinas uses some paradigms out of Aristote's political philosophy in order to formulate his natural law doctrine as a participation, within the human being, to the divine providence, thus making such human being « sibi ipsi et aliis providens » : further, Thomas Aquinas does not think of natural law without its necessary complement which is political law. This renewed thought on natural law in the light of politics allows us to better understand the necessity and yet insufficiency of lex naturalis for practical rationality because of its generality, and also, according to Thomas Aquinas, the dignity of the legislative and political activity, as such activity is in charge of applying natural law to the particulars, and therefore to make it politically effective

Full textSaint thomas aquinas's theory of individuation by matter presents two main problems: firstly the exact meaning of the affirmation "matter is the principle of individuation", and secondly the consistency with which he held to the same interpretation of this statement throughout his works. A third question concerns the relevance of this theory today. The author argues: firstly, that there are two aspects of individuation by matter - the metaphysical aspect assured by prime matter, and the physical aspect assured by "interminate dimensions" or their synonym "dimensive quantity"; secondly, that this interpretation remained the consist teaching of saint thomas throughout his career, and thirdly, since both modern science and the main branches of modern philosophy have failed to offer any satisfactory metaphysical explanation of reality, that the "moderate realism taught by saint thomas can provide the adequate explanation that is lacking today. Since the theory of individuation of physical beings by their matter is a key tenet of this moderate realism, it is defended as being as relevant and necessary today as is the philosophical system inwhich it is embedded

Full textLubac’s publishing Surnaturel in 1946, accusing all the Thomists of unfaithfulness to the master about the issue of the connection between nature and grace, triggered a controversy, until his demonstration seemed to establish itself. Yet since 2000, we have witnessed a fresh outbreak of studies trying to contradict his theory and to restore the interpretation prevailing since Cajetan. To deal with the issue again, the only method was a complete and chronological perusal of Thomas’s work. This enables to establish that, according to Thomas : 1. man’s natural capacity for grace is not an obedential potency; 2. there is a natural and innate appetite of the intellect for this vision ; 3. consequently, it cannot consider any other ultimate end or beatitude apart from the vision of the divine essence ; 4. nevertheless this one remains free as natural faculties are unable to reach it. Beyond the polemic, the point is to see how consistent the relations between nature and grace are, in concrete man, first in the state of innocence, then in the state bearing the marks of original sin, by investigating the consequences of original sin and the restoration brought by Christ’s grace, before studying their extension into the interface between faith and reason. One can thus appreciate the originality of Aquinas’ anthropology, which gives nature a depth it did not have with Augustine, but includes Aristotle only by radically reinterpreting him in light of revelation
Celier, Grégoire. "Saint Thomas d’Aquin et la possibilité d’un monde créé sans commencement." Thesis, Paris 4, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA040054.
Full textThe question of a world created without beginning or, as is often said, the problem of « the eternity of the world », was the occasion of a controversy between the latin thinkers of the thirteenth century, including St. Thomas Aquinas. Despite his unquestionable faith in a creation with a beginning, Thomas, catholic theologian and philosopher, wondered throughout his life : « Would it have been possible that God created a world without beginning ? » This perseverance is paradoxical enough to attract attention, especially as Thomas, in his reply, was opposed to the vast majority of his contemporaries.After a short and unpretentious introduction that describes historical context, eleven thomasians texts dealing with the duration of the world are presented, and especially the possibility of a world created without beginning, in the original latin and in a new french translation. Then the arguments given by Thomas are analyzed, as well as the issues they may raise. If the relationship between philosophy and faith, and between philosophy and science, are taken into account, the concepts of natural causality and voluntary causality, finite and infinite, divine creation and human action, time and eternity, rational demonstration and argument of convenience, are the heart of this philosophical elucidation.At the end of the process, it appears that, for Aquinas, if the world, in fact, was created with a beginning (this is for him a certainty of faith), nevertheless it could have been created without a beginning (and this is for him a legitimate statement of reason)
Leclère, Sébastien. "L'ordre d'après Thomas d'Aquin." Paris 4, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998PA040091.
Full textSt. Thomas Aquinas was above all a theologian. The concept of order in the works of St. Thomas may designate the sacrament of holy orders: sacramentum ordinis. However catholic theology recognizes that grace does not destroy nature but perfects it, and for this reason a theologian must be first and foremost a metaphysician. St. Thomas was in fact a great metaphysician and one of the greatest commentators of Aristotle. The study of the concept of order (ordo) in St. Thomas may encompass the study of metaphysical order, natural order, conceptual order, epistemological order and political order in his works. Such a study is the subject of this thesis and has seemed opportune in view of the current state of thomistic political thought. Yet one cannot understand politics if one does not know man, and one cannot know man, a rational animal, without knowledge in its first principles of the universe to which he belongs. To study the concept of that order which subsists between citizens, it has accordingly seemed necessary first to analyze the order subsisting between beings, the order subsisting between the principles of each being qua being, and in particular of man, the order between the concepts which he forms and between the sciences which he is capable of acquiring ; for such an analysis provides an understanding of politics as the most perfect of the practical sciences : as it were open to the order of speculative sciences

Ils sont, pour ce faire, imperméables à toute notion d’authenticité. Les aspects religieux primant et dans un contexte de forte pilarisation, ils adoptent sur cette question une position monolithique, alors même que la réflexion au sujet de la restauration de la sculpture polychromée se développe, notamment au sein de la Commission royale des Monuments. Dans les traitements de restauration, les Blanchaert, les Bressers et Jules Helbig font preuve d’un vrai souci archéologique mais rarement de réflexion critique sur l’opportunité ou pas de reconstituer des éléments lacunaires, sur le bien fondé de l’adjonction des attributs, ou sur les pratiques de décapage et de repolychromie. Ce travail doctoral démontre par ailleurs que les nouvelles polychromies néo-gothiques, en particulier celles confectionnées par les Bressers, sont souvent le reflet, voire des copies, des anciennes polychromies quand elles étaient bien conservées.
Les discussions menées au sein de la Gilde ont eu un impact non négligeable sur la question du démembrement des autels baroques et néo-classiques ainsi que sur la création du nouveau mobilier néo-gothique en Belgique.
L’étude d’une série de retables néo-gothiques apporte de nouvelles clefs de lecture sur la conception des programmes iconographiques globaux, la répartition des retables dans l'espace ecclésial, la typologie des œuvres, la conception des compositions et le style adopté pour les groupes sculptés. L'influence de Pugin a pu être montrée, notamment dans le caractère très hiérarchisé donné aux œuvres, et cela à tous les niveaux de la représentation.
Dans son ensemble, ce travail doctoral offre une contribution significative sur l’historicisme et l’histoire des mentalités.

Full textThis thesis has the aim to examine, after the analyzes of Thomas Aquinas, the notion of contingency as a necessary condition of human action. In doing so, we shall consider the distinction between the acts involuntary and voluntary acts and, then, the difference between the voluntary and a deliberate choice. Over the course of this study, we will also examine the concept of human activity, which, we know, found his principle in the reason. First, we will try to know the originality and richness of this definition. For all that, we will defer to the data provided by the tradition predecessor of Thomas Aquinas. Then, to better understand the meaning of the definition thomistic, we compare it to other texts and to other doctrines which it has related party. In the result of this study, we will see that is in the Questio 91, devoted to the various species of laws that appears, in second article, the concept of natural law. On this point, we will do an exegesis of the first principles of the natural law such what the designs Thomas Aquinas, both of the logical point of view that from the point of view Epistemological. With this exegesis, we shall try to show how these first principles of reason are known and justified. Thus, the presentation of the first principles of the practical reason will help us to understand how Thomas Aquinas conceives of the science in general, and especially its concept d'ethics as the ethics of principles, rules and laws. We will see that par make possible to the reason the formulation of judgments safe and effective on the moral value of concrete action, the prudence is to be able to know the singular concrete in which is carried out currently act. At the same time, it will have to be able to express a precept effective address to the achievement of virtuous action

Full textThis dissertation aims to give a theoretical account of the cardinal virtue of temperance that portrays it as an attractive (albeit demanding) virtue, and provides the justification and method for applying it to multiple spheres of life today. To this end, it offers a critical interpretation and retrieval of Saint Thomas Aquinas' account of the four causes of temperantia in the Summa Theologiae. I claim that, for Thomas, the four causes of a moral virtue are its mode (formal cause), matter and subject (material cause), proper end (final cause) and agent (efficient cause). Less technically, they can be expressed in terms of five guiding questions to be used in understanding any given virtue: What is the practical wisdom actualized by that virtue? What is the sphere of life with which the virtue is concerned? What aspect of the human heart and mind does the virtue modify? What is the virtue for? What causes the virtue to exist and increase? To answer to these five questions is to give an account of a moral virtue. This dissertation develops and applies this causal method for analyzing a moral virtue, both as a means of interpreting Thomas' account of temperance, and as a tool for constructing a theory of temperance for today. Temperance, I claim, can be defined as the modulation of attraction for the sake of right relationship. It is developed through both discipline and grace. Temperance does not repress desire, but forms and channels its positively, placing it at the service of right relationship to oneself, others, the earth and God. It does limit and restrain desire, but always for the sake of deeper and more meaningful goods. Temperance therefore modulates harmoniously between the restraint and the redirection of desire, the fast and the feast. Temperance is often misunderstood as proposing a purely negative ideal of repression and constraint. The dissertation claims that, on the contrary, temperance is a positive and attractive virtue, and one that is urgently needed in consumer society

Full textSaint-Estève le Pont site (Berre l'Etang, Bouches-du-Rhône, South-East of France) is a medieval (8th to 10th century) rural funerary complex divided into two zones : the South area, characterised by a church and annexed sepulchral area, and the North area, characterised by a rupestrian cemetery. Comprehensive archaeological and anthropological analyses have been carried throughout, from the initial phases of archaeological excavation to the final study of human remains in laboratory. This PhD work focused on two main objectives. Firstly, the research aimed to define the funeral practices used during the early Middle Age (e. G. Carolingian period), particularly those practices associated with the selective recruitment of Berre l'Etang's population. Secondly, the research intended to stem the demographic, osteometric and pathological features of the original medieval population living in this province of France. The archaeological and anthropological study of the osteological sample (216 individuals) revealed the use of specific burial practices: young children and adults of high socio-economic status were mainly buried within and around the church walls, whereas older juveniles, aged over 10 years, and adults of lower socio-economic status were buried in the rupestrian cemetery. Interesting results also came from palaeopathological analyses, highlighting the impact of tuberculosis during this period. The archaeological evidence of St Esteve le Pont site and the interpretation of the funerary practice adopted showed the impact of Christianisation on a rural population, while the anthropological study of human remains well document the social, economic and sanitary status of this population. In conclusion, this research adds new and important knowledge to the understanding of Middle Age populations, a still poorly documented period in the southeast of France

Full textFor thomas aquinas, the love of one's neighbour is not a pure precept revealed without any roots in the natural face of the created world. First of all, thomas represents a static order of natures (i) where the preeminence of intellectual creatures, inscribed in "tierce-natures" between the creator and the other elements of a cohabited world, constitutes the proof of the first casualty,manifested rather than hidden by the efficacy of the second causes. The beings created in the image of god then invite him to describe a dynamic order of persons (ii) where the ordination of the creator replies less to a necessity of essence than to the historical act of the will which consents to the eternal beatitude after having known the hypothesis of it : the "tierce-nature" here becomes a "tierce person" in the social framework of the free emulation where the theology of the angels is of capital importance. The history of the man and the woman in their mutual relationship in the garden of eden (iii) shows the human neighbour as being this person who is united to god according to the soul but also under the eyes of the spouse according to the body, which becomes quasi-sacremental

Full textThis work aims to initiate a comprehensive and definitive account of St. Thomas Aquinas' doctrine of the principle of the individuation of substances of a common species, which adds some sort of "quantity" or "dimensions" to the Aristotelian account of matter as the principle of individuation. After laying out the interpretative problem in its entirety through a review of the Scholastic and modern traditions of commentary, I determine the first step on the path to its solution, and take that first step by offering a properly limited interpretation of the account set forth in Question 4, article 2 of the Expositio super librum Boethii De trinitate. I argue that this text presents a sapiential metaphysical account of the principle of individuation informed by a properly metaphysical understanding which it leaves implicit. St. Thomas resolves the ratio of the numerically individual composite substance of a species as apprehended by the logician to its first per se principle, defined as "matter under dimensiones interminatae." As individuating, the dimensiones interminatae do not belong to the accidental category of quantity, but are merely a dimensional continuum, a certain composite of a potency--the parts of dimensions, which can be united or divided--and the unifying act of situs, the "order of the parts in the whole," or beginning-middle-end structure, by virtue of which the dimensions possess in themselves the ratio of the numerical individual. In each of these respects, the dimensions qualify the potency of the matter subject to them. Qua potency, the dimensiones interminatae qualify matter's intrinsic potency for unity with form in the substance as a whole by restricting its scope in the real order. Qua act, they qualify this complex restricted potency in a merely rational manner, rendering its restricting potency (i.e., that of the dimensional parts for situs) actual, and thus they make the complex restricted potency of matter intelligible, possessed of the ratio of the numerical individual. Accordingly, matter under dimensiones interminatae is this (and not that) matter, one unified principle belonging to the category of substance. In the properly metaphysical understanding of individuation which underlies the explicit account given in Question 4, article 2 of the Expositio, matter is understood as the potency for the corruptibly contingent mode of the act of substantial existence. Being subjected to the restricting potency of the dimensiones interminatae renders matter thus considered a principle of contingency, in the real order, in respect of divisibility. As before, this complex restricted potency is rendered partially actual in the rational order, and thus the ground of the ratio of the numerically individual substance qua being, by the dimensiones interminatae according to the act of situs. In this way, matter is constituted as this matter, this potency for the corruptibly contingent mode of existence, and not that matter--or in other words, it is constituted as numerically individual matter, the first per se principle of individuation

Full textThis study concerns a collection of discourses from the work of neophytus the recluse: the book of the catechetical sermons. Neophytes, a priest, monk and recluse (1134-1219) is of interest to all historians and philologists due to his fascinating life and personnality without any formal education and therefore, self-taught, he was the founder of a monastic community and the author of important spiritual works. The study aims at providing a critical editors of the text, a translation into french and a historical commentary of a part of the collection of the catechetical sermons. The chosen texts, unpublished up to the present day only constitute a part of the recluse's work. A study has also been proposed on the "bibliotheque sainte" of the monastery including manuscripts containing the written works of the recluse with a view to describing more fully the unique manuscript with the catechetical sermons provide us with. This manuscript, kept at the bibliotheque nationale de paris (paris. Suppl. Gr. 1317 olim metochion s. Sepulcri 370), is the original manuscript containing notes made by the recluse himself it consists of two books containing 24 and 32 catechetical sermons respectively. Furthermore, this study examines precise details on the liturgy and life of the monastic community of which neophytos undertook the management and more generally on the monastic institution in cyprus. Our aim is neither to judge (or judge on the basis of the principles of the time in which he lived) nor to correct the recluse who, despite these new paleographic factors, hides himself discreetly in his enkleistra, a unique exemple of a recluse for all of us who are on the outside

Full textNowadays, are we able to receive in literature such a work as summa theologiae ? 1- we tend to describe the literary work of Thomas composing his theology in the XIIIth cent. , remembering his poetical work (as described by a. Michel) and the principles of his esthetics (as studied by Eco). On the contrary, we will underline the theological size of the great modern and contemporary poetry since Rimbaud and Mallarme. In order to compose a summa of theology, Thomas could tell the reality as it is (metaphysics) and access to the very language of the unspeakable (revelation). Their disappearance forbears the poets to have his ambition today. 2 we will consider the linguistical and literal aspect of the aristotelico-metaphysical discourse assumed by Thomas : far from looking of the transparence of the intellection that the moderns had the illusion to reach, it preserves in the language all its verbal thickness, neglected by Gilson or Maritain. It sublimes the logical/metaphysical dialectics by the demonstration of the interdependence of the word theory and the logos theology. Therefore, he invests the human word by a symbolism radically religious and enters it in the esthetics of the sublime. We translate it as an echo of the essential music of the bible, daily reading of the theologian. 3) biblical poetics lends to invent the unspeakable. Lectio divina puts up a dialectics of text and experience. The relationship between god and the book that it hints is transfigured in the show of the cruciferous and the celebration of the holy eucharisty : within these three times, we suggest what is the 'sixth sense' introduced by faith in the perception and expression of reality.
