Full text

Abstract:

This thesis will investigate, by means of the historical-critical method, Augustine of Hippo's understanding of the Manichaean idea of the Good, and how this understanding affects his own related notions of summum bonum and personal evil, and, as a corollary, his doctrine of predestination. The question of a possible Manichaean influence is particularly pertinent because Manichaeism is at heart a dualistic solution to the issue of good and evil. The focus is not on Manichaeism per se but on Augustine's perception of it, as more directly affecting his thinking. Augustine's treatise De natura bo

Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2014.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Augustine of Hippo remains one of the most prominent and influential figures in the world of Catholicism, famous for his many writings and sermons on Catholic Christianity as well as his ardent defence of it. His debate with Fortunatus, a member of the Manichaean faith presented Augustine with one of his defining moments as a member of the Catholic clergy. This is because Augustine had only been a presbyter in the Church at Hippo for a few months when this debate took place and therefore had much at stake against his wily oppone

Abstract:

This thesis will explore whether Augustine of Hippo altered his theological views and what influences might have precipitated the alleged modifications. Augustine’s early "De libero arbitrio" argued for an individual’s ability to respond freely to God while his later anti-Pelagian writings rejected any human ability to believe until God infuses grace creating belief as his gift. Does his theology exhibit continuity or discontinuity? Four commonplace assertions within Augustinian studies are questioned in this thesis: 1.) Augustine changed his theology in AD 396; 2.) while he was writing the le

Abstract:

Augustine, the fourth-century Christian philosopher, is perhaps best-known for his spiritual autobiography Confessions. Two aspects of the problem of evil are arguably critical for comprehending his life in Books 1 through 9 of the work. His search for the nature and origin of evil in the various philosophies that he encounters (the intellectual aspect) and his struggles with his own weaknesses (the experiential aspect) are windows for understanding the actual dynamics of his sojourn. I defend the idea above by providing a fuller examination of the key role that both aspects play in his spirit

Nous voyons apparaître, ces dernières années, ce que l'on nomme « les nouvelles spiritualités » : phénomène de société pour les uns ; danger alarmant pour les autres.

Part 1, Prolegomena, consists of a survey of secondary literature (in chapter 1) that focuses on research on the literary characteristics of the work, followed by a theoretical exploration of the two aspects that constitute the focus of this study, the genre and the audience of the Confessions.

Si de nombreuses études occidentales portent sur le cinéma chinois contemporain, les écrits occidentaux consacrés aux films de la première moitié du 20t: siècle sont presque inexistants. Cette recherche propose une réflexion sur un champ d'étude méconnue en France qu'est le mélodrame cinématographique chinois durant la période républicaine (1911-1949). Elle envisage une réévaluation sur les films souvent qualifiés de « réalistes» et de « révolutionnaires ». Les œuvres mélodramatiques chinoises possèdent de multiples facettes: son style stéréotypé (la victime, le traître, le misérabilisme et le

Nearly 300 years before the rise of a ‘Christianized,’ Eastern Roman Empire, generations of inhabitants in the Eastern Mediterranean and Near East had witnessed a considerable variety and evolution of religious thought. As a result of the expansion of Christian sects throughout the Near East and Mediterranean, in 325 CE, Emperor Constantine I convened a theological council to unite his vast kingdom in the East under a single religious creed. While revisions to the text of the first ‘Nicene Creed’ and subsequent councils would be organized, many dissenting factions refused to relinquish their l

Abstract:

St Thomas d'Aquin pouvait avoir de nombreuses raisons de s'intéresser au manichéisme. Le XIIIè est le temps des Cathares, considérés en un sens comme des “néo-manichéens” ; Thomas mentionne parfois aussi des « hérétiques contemporains » de type dualiste qu'il rapproche et distingue des anciens manichéens, et parle même d'un auteur cathare. Le manichéisme est très important dans la tradition patristique, surtout augustinienne, reprise par l'Aquinate. Enfin, les enjeux liés au manichéisme sont parmi les plus importants de la philosophie : le premier principe, le mal, la liberté, le corps, etc. P

Il Bene è ancora dimostrato come fattore assoluto; il Male è sempre indicato come inesistente sul piano ontologico, ma, ed è questa la vera novità, entrambi i concetti vengono ripresi e scandagliati sul piano cosmologico.

Abstract:

Dans le « Contra Faustum manichaeum », Augustin expose pour la première fois sa théologie du peuple juif nation prophétique et peuple témoin (ch. 1). Cette théologie intervient dans la défense de l’ « argument prophétique », classique en apologétique, qu’Augustin justifie à partir de l’exégèse figurative de l’Ancien Testament, compris comme la prophétie du Nouveau Testament. La thèse montre d’abord que les « capitula » du manichéen Faustus, à l’origine du traité, héritent de la prophétologie manichéenne qui exclut les patriarches du judaïsme de la chaîne des prophètes de la vérité aboutissant

My dissertation focuses on a set of Anglo-American novels that deal with the events of 9/11. Identifying thematic and stylistic differences in the fiction on this topic, I distinguish between novels that represent directly the jolts of trauma in the wake of the attacks, and novels that, while still holding the events as an underlying operative force in the narrative, do not openly represent them but envision their long-term aftermath. The first group of novels comprises Lynne Sharon Schwartz’s The Writing on the Wall (2005), Don DeLillo’s Falling Man (2007) and Jonathan Safran Foer’s Extremely

This dissertation investigates how two fifth-century bishops of Rome, Leo I (440-461) and Gelasius (492-496) understood and opposed heresy. More specifically, by stressing the contested character of heresy and the at times optative nature of the bishop of Rome’s opposition to it, this dissertation hopes to provide a new perspective on how Leo and Gelasius imagined and justified the authority of the Apostolic See in an uncertain world. To accomplish this task, this dissertation considers Leo and Gelasius’ opposition to various different heresies and details the methods by which they were oppose

Embora movido pelo propósito inicial de responder às objecções do maniqueísmo, na verdade esta paixão hermenêutica pela narrativa da Criação – a que regressará noutras quatro diversas ocasiões – abre a porta a novas formas de pensar o Homem, pensar as Escrituras e pensar Deus.

La somme est bâtie d’après la primauté de la notion du bien transcendantal, et fut rédigée par opposition avec la doctrine manichéenne des Cathares, en vogue au XIIIe siècle, qui s’appuyait sur la prééminence de deux principes métaphysiques causant le bien et le mal, d’où devaie
