Este trabalho procura resgatar a importante contribuição de Filipe Melanchthon para o movimento reformatório europeu do século XVI, trazendo uma biografia de sua vida e carreira, abordando aspectos centrais de sua teologia e a como eles também ajudaram a moldar o discurso reformatório a partir de Wittenberg para toda a Europa. De maneira especial, enfatiza-se a historiografia de Melanchthon desde a época da Reforma, procurando desfazer-se rótulos e juízos de valor infundados sobre a sua pessoa, especialmente no que se refere a ser considerado um auxiliar sem grandes contribuições originais ou, pior ainda, um traidor da causa luterana. Busca-se, ainda, apontar para os novos rumos atuais da pesquisa teológica sobre a sua pessoa na Europa e nos Estados Unidos, com o intuito de estimular a pesquisa sobre este assunto também no Brasil. Ao final, verifica-se que a Melanchthon foi destinada uma posição obscura na pesquisa histórica do movimento reformatório europeu, o que não condiz com a grandeza e a importância de suas contribuições para aquela época e também daquilo que pode servir de estímulo ao refletir teológico atual.
This work’s purpose is to highlight the great contributions to the Reformatorial Movement in Europe during the XVI Century by Philip Melanchthon. So, it brings a biography of his life, as well as it underlines some of the basic aspects of his theology and how they helped to shape the message of the Reformation from Wittenberg to all Europe. Mostly, it focuses on the historiography of Melanchthon from Reformation’s time on, in order to clear up misunderstandings and biased labels that were imposed on him, above all that he gave no original contribution and – even worst – that he was a traitor inside the Lutheran ranks. It also tries to point out the new directions that Melanchthon Research is taking in Europe and in the United States, in order to foster the research on this topic also in Brazil. In the end, it becomes clear that a rather obscure place was assigned to Melanchthon in the historical research of the Reformation, what is not appropriate considering the extent of his contribution then and how much it can foster theological thinking today.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this study the researcher will reflect on the spirituality of Martin Luther as expressed in his letters to Philip Melanchthon written from Wartburg. Through such a reflection, based on biographical material, the researcher wishes to contribute to research that reflects on the spirituality of historical individuals. The first chapter will present a general introduction on how the researcher came to study the Spirituality of Martin Luther via inter alia a study on Dietrich Bonhoeffer. A short motivation will also be given on why biographical material (such as letters), the primary source for this study, should be seen as a suitable source for theological inquiry. The second chapter will reflect on a few contemporary works on Luther’s spirituality as well as the works of Scott Hendrix, Egil Grislis, Mark McIntosh and Sandra Schneiders to gain insight into the development of spirituality as a field of study and its current focus. The third chapter entails biographical accounts of Luther and Melanchthon with a primary focus on their lives up until Luther's safekeeping at Wartburg as well as a reflection on their friendship. The purpose will be to contextualize the letters and to give a better understanding of the people involved. The fourth chapter will summarize the content of the nine letters Luther wrote from Wartburg to Melanchthon. The summary will indicate the matters which were discussed between the two reformers and will be reflected on in order to find deeper insight into Luther's spirituality. Chapter five will consider matters of importance identified in chapter four, such as the Luther's identity and spirituality and his understanding and reference to Christ and God, while at Wartburg. The final chapter will reflect on the content of this study and the contribution that a study based on biographical material has to offer to spirituality as an academic discipline.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In die studie wil die navorsers reflekteer oor die spiritualiteit van Martin Luther soos dit uitgedruk is in sy briewe aan Philip Melanchthon, geskryf vanaf Wartburg. Die hoop is om deur hierdie refleksie, gebaseer op biografiese material, ‘n bydrae te lewer tot navorsing wat reflekteer op die spiritualiteit van historiese individue. Die eerste hooftuk van die studie behels ‘n algemene inleiding wat sal verduidelik hoe die navorser daartoe gekom het om ‘n studie te doen oor die spiritualiteit van Martin Luther via, onder andere, ‘n voorafgaande studie oor Dietrich Bonhoeffer. ‘n Kort motivering sal ook gegee word hoekom biografiese materiaal (soos briewe), die primêre bron van dié studie, gesien kan word as ‘n gepaste bron vir teologiese ondersoek. In die tweede hoofstuk van die studie word daar gereflekteer oor sommige kontemporêre werke aangaande Luther se spiritualiteit asook die werke van Scott Hendrix, Egil Grislis, Mark McIntosh en Sandra Schneiders wat insig sal gee tot die ontwikkeling van spiritualiteit as ‘n studieveld. Die derde hoofstuk behels biografiese refleksies oor die lewens van Luther en Philip Melanchthon, met ‘n primêre fokus op hul lewens voordat Luther na Wartburg geneem is vir beskerming, asook ‘n refleksie op hul vriendskap. Die doel hiervan is om die briewe te kontekstualiseer en ‘n beter begrip van die betrokke mense te kry. In die vierde hoofstuk gee die navorser 'n opsomming van die inhoud van die nege briewe wat Luther vanaf Wartburg aan Melanchthon geskryf het. Dit sal ‘n aanduiding gee van die sake wat tussen die Hervormers bespreek was en waaroor verder reflekteer moet word vir dieper insigte tot Luther se spiritualiteit. Hoofstuk vyf fokus op die sake wat in hoofstuk vier geïdentifiseer is, asook Luther se identiteit en spiritualiteit en sy verstaan en verwysings na God en Christus. In die finale hoofstuk van die studie word daar gereflekteer oor die inhoud van die studie en die bydrae wat ‘n refleksie gebaseer op biografiese materiaal, te bied het aan spiritualiteit as ‘n akademiese veld.

Full textThis research is about the transmission of knowledges within german universities in the early modern period : it attempts to understand the way the german academic model followed a specific path, in the lutheran world, in the decisive moment of confessionalization and territorialization, when confessional dislocation took root and the Thirty Year’s War and humanism turned the scholarly practice conditions upside down. This study intends to examine the evolution of knowledges and its transmission in connection with the social context : it analyzes the evolution of the disciplines within the framework of faculty chairs, but also the practices of the groups concerned by this. Among the many german universities of this period, Helmstedt commands attention. Thanks to class catalogues and handwritten accounts by the teachers, the university located in the Duchy of Brunswick allows the possibility to reconcile the history of sciences with politics and sociology

Full textThis thesis provides an original analysis of causality in Johannes Kepler's (1571-1630) natural philosophy. It is split into two parts, according to the two kinds of cause that reign large in Kepler's investigations: the archetypal and the efficient. 1) Part one focuses on the major works of his archetypal philosophy. I will show how this philosophy, based on a synthesis of Melanchthonian epistemology and Neoplatonism, is deeply preoccupied with the unity of knowledge. 2) Kepler also believed, quite naturally, that change was the result of force, and he set himself to explicating the chief forces at work in nature, namely light and the solar vis. These forces are vital, that is, they represent facultates animae. One of my major points in this thesis is that Kepler's method for doing celestial physics, as well as his conception of force, must be understood within the context of sixteenth century medicine and its extremely syncretic brand of hylomorphism. Another will be to show the underlying continuity between archetypal and efficient causes. Both must explain how geometrical ideas are quantified, or, to be more precise, embodied. And both are implicated in the taming of matter with form, where matter is quantity and form is geometrical reason or ratio. Kepler's vitalism is itself a kind of mathematical reflection: souls are mathematical entities and their forces can be described as active and embodied proportions

Full textThe words 'commpnplace"' and 'commonplaces' have a dozen meanings during the xvith and xviith centuries. We may consider three main meanings : i, the oratorical development of a great principle; ii, a collection organized by headings; iii, the more traditional 'loci', definition, description, etymology, etc. The first is by far the more important. It takes the two first sections (out of three) to analyse it. In the de inventione of cicero, the commpnplace or 'indignatio' is eloquence at its peak : for example, against parricide in general. It is par excellence the time for the movere, for the greatest emotion. Indignation gives irresistible violence or 'sublime' to the whole speech, thus giving it its internal coherence. During the xvith century, melanchthon is the thinker who gives full importance to the commonplaces. The german reformer sees them as the means to teach the doctrine. Hence all these loci communes, title which names first of all theological summae, against the catholics. Melanchthon blames the erasmian taste for compilations of all sorts, and he gives examples of what a methodical indexation (cf. Ramus) should be. 'commonplaces' comes to name any encyclopaedic compilations. In the process, the movere has been lost and replaced by the docere : by the teaching of 'truths' i. E of norms. A long analysis of the pro milome attempts to measure the strong and weak points of melanchthon's own approach

Full textDoes Leibniz’s doctrine of demonstrative knowledge rest upon a theory of cognition? Having shown in previous articles that such was not the case in his mature works, we now turn to his early writings. The Nova Methodus discendae docendaeque Jurisprudentiae (1667) contains a reasoned inventory of the disciplines that should constitute the new encyclopaedia. As in later projects, Leibniz precedes this inventory with a classification of the types of knowledge based on the logical criteria according to which propositions are divided in histories, observations and theorems. Particular attention is given to the definition of the latter as propositions « demonstrable ex terminis ».This norm of scientific necessity once defined, what real (in re) foundation does Leibniz give to demonstrative knowledge? Following the various threads offered by his polemic against the Italian humanist Marius Nizolius, we study Leibniz’s attempt to ground the validity of propositions of eternal truth on universals subsisting independently of the existence of individuals. But one has to wait until the first Paris writings (1672-1673) to see the emergence of his mature answer to that problem: first conceived after the model of the significatio which a definition « expresses », the notion of idea reaches its latter ontological status as an archetype subsisting in God’s mind. The principal features of Leibniz’s theory of demonstrative knowledge are thus in place, prior to and independently of what he will later call his « doctrine of the understanding »

The author studies first the status of method as order in Melanchthon and Suarez ; then he shows how theological concepts have been worked out in an epistemological context: vacuum, time, substance are studied with the helpp of theological tools : the empyreum, the aevum, the Eucharist. From the physica sacra, which is a transposition of the scriptures into a scientific scheme (comenius), to the religiophilosophica of cotton mather, xviith century science is built in a religious and metaphysical context. Nor does cartesianism stand aside, being absorbed by the dutch universities in order to fight for new scholasticism and being attacked as theologia cartesiana

Full textThe research proposes to study the development of the dialectical treatises during the Renaissance. In order to achieve this objective a path was chosen, going from Lorenzo Valla to Pierre de La Ramée. These authors are approached not only as offering a reflexion on language, but rather to detect the conception of the intellect they highlight. Having said that, it will not be the case to simply reinsert these authors, central for the understanding of the topic, in the actual swarm of dialectical treatises during the time, but rather to grasp the reflexion concerning the operations of the intellect, that animate them. During the Renaissance, Dialectic and Rhetoric will be brought closer and their cooperation worked in many different ways, the text will thus discuss how the analysis of the language set forth during the time, strongly supported by the Latin of classic authors, will be shifted toward a topic of the intellect, dedicated to multiples forms of reasoning. This 'dialectical' movement was not an uniform one, nevertheless, the works here consulted can be placed within the framework of a growing participation of the theory of knowledge in the discussions about dialectic, understood as the science of sciences

Full textThis dissertation lays the groundwork for a reevaluation of early Protestant understandings of salvation in the sixteenth century by tracing the emergence of the confessional formulation of the doctrine of justification by faith from the perspective of the history of biblical interpretation. In the Introduction, the author argues that the diversity of first-generation evangelical and Protestant teaching on justification has been widely underestimated. Through a close comparison of first- and second-generation confessional statements in the Reformation period, the author seeks to establish that consensus on this issue developed slowly over the course over a period of roughly thirty years, from the adoption of a common rhetoric of dissent aimed at critiquing the regnant Catholic orthopraxy of salvation in the 1520's and 1530's, to the emergence of a common theological culture in the 1540's and beyond. With the emergence of this new theological culture, an increasingly precise set of definitions were employed, not only to explicate the new Protestant gospel more fully, but also to highlight areas of divergence with traditional Catholic teaching.
With this groundwork in place, the author then examines the development of several key concepts in the emergence of the confessional doctrine of justification through the lens of biblical interpretation. Focusing on two highly contested chapters in Paul's epistle to the Romans, the author demonstrates that early evangelical and Protestant biblical exegesis varied widely in its aims, motivations, and in its appropriation of patristic and medieval interpretations. Chapter 1 consists of a survey of pre-Reformation exegesis of the first half of Rom 2, and the author demonstrates that this text had traditionally been interpreted as pointing to an eschatological final judgment in which the Christian would be declared righteous (i.e., "justified") in accord with, but not directly on the basis of, a life of good deeds. In Chapter 2, the author demonstrates that early evangelical exegetes broke away from this consensus, but did so slowly. Several early Protestant interpreters continued, throughout the 1520's and 1530's, to view this text within a traditional frame of interpretation supplied by Origen and Augustine, and only with Philipp Melanchthon's development of a rhetorical-critical approach to the text were Protestants able to overcome the traditional reading and so neutralize the first half of Rom 2 as a barrier to the emerging doctrine of justification by faith alone.
Chapters 3, 4, and 5 all deal with the reception history of what is arguably the central text in the Reformation debates concerning justification by faith, Rom 3. Chapter 3 turns once more to patristic and medieval interpretation, and here it is argued that that two major strands of interpretation dominated pre-Reformation exegesis. A "minority view" contrasted justification with works of the ceremonial law, arguing that Paul's assertion of justification "apart from works of the law" was aimed at highlighting the insufficiency of the Jewish ceremonial law in contrast with the sacraments of the Catholic church. In contrast with this view, the "majority view" (arising again from Origen and Augustine) argued that the contrast was properly viewed as one between justification and works of the moral law, thus throwing into sharp relief the problem of justification in relation to good works. This tradition generally followed Augustine in drawing a contrast between works of the law performed prior to, and following upon, the initiation of justification as a life-long process of transformation by grace, but at the same time insisted that this process ultimately issued in the believer fulfilling the demands of the moral law. In Chapter 4, I turn to Luther's early exegesis of Rom 3, as seen in his lectures from 1515. In contrast with Luther's own description of his "Reformation breakthrough" later in life, I argue that Luther did not arrive at his new understanding of justification in a flash of inspiration inspired by Augustine; rather, his early treatment of Romans is unimpeachably Catholic and unmistakably Augustinian, although there are indications even in this early work that Luther is not entirely satisfied with Augustine's view. In Chapter 5, I consider the ways in which Luther's followers develop his critique of the Augustinian reading of justification in the first generation of the Reformation. Throughout this period, it was unclear whether Protestant exegesis of Paul would resolve itself into a repristinization of patristic theology, inspired in large part by Augustine, or whether it would develop into something genuinely new. The key turning point, I argue, came in the early 1530's with Melanchthon's rejection of Augustine's transformative model of justification, and his adoption in its place of a strictly forensic construal of Paul's key terms. Many of Melanchthon's fellow reformers continued to operate within an Augustinian framework, however as Melanchthon's terms passed into wider acceptance in Protestant exegesis, it became increasingly apparent that the Protestant reading of Paul could not ultimately be reconciled with patristic accounts of justification.
