“El negativo proceder de la Ilustración”. Razones historiográficas de la crítica hegeliana a la Ilustración en Fe y saber
No full textThis paper examines Hegel’s critique of Enlightenment in the work Faith and Knowledge (1802). To that end, we assess the recent work of several historians who study Enlightenment and dissociate it from the French Revolution and describe the tipology (French, British, German) of the European, Cosmopolitan Enlightenment
Quelques réflexions sur les conditions matérielles et linguistiques de la monarchie universelle d’après Nicole Oresme
Get PDFDuring the 1370s, Nicole Oresme (1320-1382)
completed for king Charles the 5th the translation of three
of Aristotle’s books (le Livre de Politiques, Livre de Ethiques
et Livre de Yconomiques) which belong to the field
of « mundane sciences » as he described it. This translation
project manifests at the same time Oresme’s own involvement
in these texts (as he punctuates Aristotle’s
writings with many glosses about 14th century political
debates about franciscan poverty, succession, etc), and his
willingness to devise a new and accurate French lexicon
for political theories. This paper focuses on one of the
longest glosses of the Livre de Politiques, dedicated to the
discussion of universal monarchy that particularly emphasises
Oresme’s conception of a fact-based political theory
– relying on historical, anthropological and linguistic
backgrounds – and as the double meaning of the word
« communication » (as « speech » as well as « togetherness
»)
Del ir y venir entre el texto y la vida Avatares filosóficos en un barrio popular de Bogotá
Get PDFThis paper attends to the experience of a communal practice of reading that emerged in the 1980’s in a popular neighborhood in Bogotá out of the impulse of liberation theology. Even today, after more than 20 years, the effects are still felt among the community. The practice continues transforming the lives of the people that come together around it. It also gives way to a plurality of practices of care of the self and of others, where a peculiar relation to the transformative potency of “words” has allowed for creative forms of ethical and political experimentation. In this text we respond to our “encounter” with this experience. We explore the philosophical issue concerning the passages between “words” and bodily and affective “practices,” to ask ourselves how to think in this case the transformative force that words can have on life, and the way in which words can become other than themselves in everyday practices. 
La parole dans la cité : Rhétorique, littérature et politique dans la Toscane du XIIIe siècle
Get PDFThis article examines the works of Bono
Giamboni and Brunetto Latini in light of the wider phenomenon
of the vulgarization of knowledge in 13th century
Tuscany. These authors write for a new type of audience,
laic and urban, and they shape their teaching according
to the social and political realities of urban society.
They give a central place to rhetoric, which they consider
– according to an anthropological conception which
links the faculty of language to the social nature of man –
as the basis of an ethic of civil life. Concerning Bono
Giamboni, the analysis focuses on his Libro dei vizî e
delle virtudi and shows that its allegorical form conveys a
moral and political message, which is intended to be an
answer to the crisis of social order and values. In Brunetto
Latini, his rhetorical teaching in the Rettorica and the encyclopedia
with political aims in the Tresor are completed
by an allegorical poem, the Tesoretto, which puts the
moral doctrine into the frame of a tale of initiation that
exalts the importance of knowledge, the central value for
our authors and for the society in which they wrote

Aristotle for women. On the Polish translation of Problemata Aristotelis (Omnes homines) (1535)
Get PDFThe article contains a presentation of the Polish version of the Problemata Aristotelis (Omnes homines). The author of the translation titled Problemata Aristotelis. Considerations Duly Selected from the Writings of the Great Philosopher Aristotle, As Well As Other Wise Men, Both of Natural and Medical Science (Problemata Aristotelis. Gadki z pisma wielkiego philosopha Aristotela i też inszych mędrców tak przyrodzonej jako i lekarskiej nauki z pilnością wybrane) was Andrzej Glaber of Kobylin, a professor at the Jagiellonian University, and his book was printed in Helena Ungler‘s printing house in 1535. The analysis of issues related primarily to women’s medicine and physiology allowed us to determine how Glaber adapted the medieval text to the mentality of a Polish reader from the 16th century, especially women (to whom the text was dedicated).

Linguaggio politico e scrittura storica nel basso medioevo. Alcune riflessioni metodologiche
No full textStarting from the political dimension that is
related to every form of writing of history – meant as an
oriented reconstruction of the past connected to the political
and ideological context of reference – this paper proposes
some general considerations about the political language
used in the writing of history. Special attention will
be given to particular themes, like the presence of semantic
changes, the continuing existence of schemes, concepts,
words, periods, and the persistence of forms and
methods of definition that, in different chronological divisions,
can contextualize different realities, in spite of the
terminological analogies. The city historiography and
chronicle studies between the 13th and the 15th centuries
lend themselves to such an analysis, because they register
and picture the effective changing of the social, politic
and economic structures of the urban realities whose history
they narrate, in a political context characterized by
fluidity, hybridity, interchangeability of forms of government.
This is a political context, then, that is very fruitful
from the point of view of political practice
Le poète chassé de la ville (Plat. Rep. 398A) : un thème platonicien chez Pétrarque et Boccace
Get PDFThe Platonic Legacy about Poetry is transmitted
to the Middle Ages by Boethius : at the beginning of
the Consolatio, Philosophy pushes away the poetic
Muses, too close to passions, according to Plato’s prescription
in Rep. 398 A : the poet « able to imitate every
aspect of life » is dangerous for the City and must be kept
out of the community. On the one hand Poetry is close to
the Revealed Truth ; on the other hand it is close to passions,
according to the « melancolic» pattern of Aristotle,
Probl. 10.1 : here’s the main Platonic challenge about Poetry
herited by the Middle Ages. Petrarch refuses the
« melancholic » model of solitude by emphasising the
Stoic-Christian solitude purified from the passions. On
the contrary, Boccace leads Poetry to meet again contingence
L’ange comme être politique et parlant
Get PDFMan is not the only political and speaking being
that medieval thought was interested in. The angel
may also be considered as a political and speaking being.
Yet, whereas the link between political life and linguistic
faculty seems obvious in the human case, it is far from
being clear when it comes to the angel. Discussions about
locutio angelica and reflexions on hierarchia constitute,
indeed, very different collections. This paper tries to ask,
by considering more particularly the case of William of
Auvergne and of Peter of John Olivi, why the political
question and the linguistic question do not manage to
connect in medieval angelology
