https://socraticum.wordpress.com/2014/04/15/die-philosophen
April 15, 2014. Die Philosophen haben die Welt nur verschieden interpretiert, es kömmt drauf an, sie zu verändern. With pre-Socratic brevity, Karl Marx sums up the modern spirit at the very end of his “Theses on Feuerbach.”. Share on Facebook (Opens in new window). Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window).

Considering a Msgr. Sokolowski’s Claim that “God is Love” is a Revealed Truth – Socraticum's Blog
https://socraticum.wordpress.com/2012/11/16/considering-a-msgr-sokolowskis-claim-that-god-is-love-is-a-revealed-truth
November 16, 2012. November 16, 2012. Considering a Msgr. Sokolowski’s Claim that “God is Love” is a Revealed Truth. Q: Philosophers have long noted that God is many things, particularly being, truth, beauty, goodness, and unity or oneness. What is the typical reaction of a philosopher upon hearing that “God is love”? How might a philosopher understand this concept? Http:/ www.zenit.org/article-15295?

Thales and Aquinas – Socraticum's Blog
https://socraticum.wordpress.com/2014/12/02/thales-and-aquinas
December 2, 2014. One of the more curious statements that has been handed down to as from Thales is his claim that “all things are full of gods.” Aquinas’s notion of creaturely being as received or participated being is a kind of echo of this claim: for Aquinas, “all things are full of God.” (and here the little Thomistic voice in my head informs me that I’m not speaking properly).

October 18, 2012. October 18, 2012. Does ens cadit primo in intellectu and what does this mean? Note: This is still a work in progress, expect revisions over the next several weeks. St Thomas holds as true that ens cadit primo in intellectu and holds that ens is the first expressed concept. Someone might think that this statement is simply false: not being, but the most specific species is the first thing which cadit in intellectu . For, what falls in the intellect is the form of the object. The state an...

Obiecta sunt Praevia Potentiis II – Socraticum's Blog
https://socraticum.wordpress.com/2012/11/25/obiecta-sunt-praevia-potentiis-ii
November 25, 2012. Obiecta sunt Praevia Potentiis II. Aristotle’s principle Obiecta sunt praevia potentiis is what most divides him from the Enlightenment philosophers. Denial of knowledge of things in themselves. Thought about thought presupposes and, as I will argue, is dependent on thought about things. To make this point, consider sight: I know that I see, but how do I know that I see? Don’t I know that I see precisely because I have seen? Can I know that I am seeing when I am not seeing anything?

Thomism and Aristotelianism. – Socraticum's Blog
https://socraticum.wordpress.com/2013/01/27/thomism-and-aristotelianism
January 27, 2013. Quaeritur: Aren’t You Unfairly Criticizing Gilson? Regardless of which side one takes, one can coherently speak of a “Thomist” philosophy: such a philosophy would either be the philosophy that follow from a distinctly Thomistic principle, or it would be one that considers St. Thomas to be the most eminent expositor of Aristotle.

November 16, 2012. November 17, 2012. A Confusion about the Division of Love. Sic ergo motus amoris in duo tendit, scilicet in bonum quod quis vult alicui,. Vel sibi vel alii;. Et in illud cui vult bonum. Ad illud ergo bonum quod quis vult alteri, habetur amor concupiscentiae,. Ad illud autem cui aliquis vult bonum, habetur amor amicitiae.

Notes on the Good – Socraticum's Blog
https://socraticum.wordpress.com/2012/11/11/notes-on-the-good
November 11, 2012. November 11, 2012. Notes on the Good. Two accounts of good’s nature Quod omnia appetunt (NE I.1). Quia ipsi opera sua omnia placuere Bonum ergo relative dicitur ad personam, ad locum, et ad tempus. Huic hic, nunc, placet; illi, illic, tunc, displicet: et sic de circumstantiis caeteris. Natura enim boni et mali sequitur rerum συντυχίαν. Ergo, bonum quia appetitur. Ergo, bonum est relative, non absolute. Natura enim boni et mali sequitur rerum συντυχίαν (casos). Thus the good is somethin...
