L’(ir)razionalità dell’ateismo. Richard Swinburne versus Richard Dawkins
Get PDFSummary: Our contemporary age is witness to an unprecedented presence of a new form of atheism, vigorously promoted within intellectual circles, especially by the self-declared “New Atheists” whose sworn objective is to criticise and contradict religion and religious belief wherever their influence still holds sway. However, within intellectual circles still, a contrary current called “Philosophical theism” has arisen, championed by some theistic scholars, indefatigably committed to the rational defence of the claims of theism. Through a critical juxtaposition of the foremost representatives of both currents, Richard Dawkins and Richard Swinburne respectively, this essay questions the rationality of atheism. Beginning with an elaboration of Dawkins’ arguments in favour of the higher improbability of God’s existence, it examines Swinburne’s arguments in favour of the higher probability of God’s existence. Then through a critical confrontation of the two positions, conclusions are drawn, not however without raising fresh perplexities.

La metodologia teologica tra dogma e Tradizione: Alfred Loisy (1857-1940) all’orizzonte billotiano
Get PDFSummary: It is a requirement of the contemporary discipline of exegesis, one which is quite marked, to be able to identify the fundamental point of departure from which to undertake the examination, from which there emerges the criterion for a historical evaluation of the Tradition. The various events and the different pronouncements which we note in the course of evolution are better explained when we discover the original impulse which gave rise to them and the motivations which determined them.
Key words: evolution of dogma, Gospel, doctrines vivantes, Tradition, esprit hellénique, history.
Parole chiave: evoluzione del dogma, Vangelo, doctrines vivantes, Tradizione, esprit hellénique, storia
The “complex reality” (LG 8) of the Church in the light of the Incarnate Word: I. Precedent Debates and the Genesis of the Text
Get PDFSummary: Since Reimarus certain Christologies have made formal and methodological distinctions between the historical Jesus and the Christ of faith, premises that became points of departure for the “Jesus Quest” and theologies of religious pluralism that required Magisterial interventions such as Dominus Iesus. Number 8 of the Vatican II dogmatic constitution on the Church, Lumen gentium, presents an analogy between the mystery of the Church and the mystery of the Incarnate Word, describing the Church as, like Christ, a “complex reality which coalesces from a divine and a human element.” Christological approaches that divide the Incarnate Word into the historical Jesus and the Christ of faith will necessarily lead to repercussions in ecclesiology. The goal of this inquiry is to see how the mystery of the Incarnate Word sheds light on the mystery of the Church, in the light of Lumen Gentium 8.
Key Words: Jesus, Christ, Quest, Ecclesiology, Christology, Lumen gentium, Vatican II, Complex Reality, Church, UnitySommario: Da Reimarus in poi, alcune cristologie hanno fatto delle distinzioni formali e metodologiche tra il Gesù storico e il Cristo della fede, premesse che sono diventate punti di partenza per la “Jesus Quest” e teologie del pluralismo religioso che hanno richiesto degli interventi magisteriali come la Dominus Iesus. Il numero 8 della costituzione dogmatica sulla Chiesa del Vaticano II, Lumen gentium, presenta un'analogia tra il mistero della Chiesa e il mistero del Verbo incarnato, descrivendo la Chiesa come, come Cristo, “una sola complessa realtà risultante di un duplice elemento, umano e divino”. Gli approcci cristologici che dividono il Verbo incarnato nel Gesù storico e nel Cristo della fede porteranno necessariamente a ripercussioni nell’ecclesiologia. L’obiettivo di questa indagine è di vedere come il mistero del Verbo Incarnato illumina il mistero della Chiesa, alla luce della Lumen gentium 8.Parole chiave: Gesù, Cristo, ricerca, ecclesiologia, cristologia, Lumen gentium, Vaticano II, realtà complessa, Chiesa, unità

No full textHelen Keller und die linguistische Aufhebung des aristotelischen „Anfangs“
Get PDFSummary: Philosophy in the Aristotelian sense may currently appear to have been replaced by the pragmatic sciences. But while today Aristotle’s justification of philosophy based on the “natural desire to know” seems insufficient, Helen Keller’s life and writings offer us anew ground for continuing in the Aristotelian Tradition: the “natural desire to communicate”, which “sublevates” or “takes up” the cognitive desire without discarding it.
Key Words: Philosophy, science, Aristotle, Helen Keller, desire to communicate, cognitive desire.
Sommario: La filosofia nel senso aristotelico potrebbe attualmente sembrare di essere stata sostituita dalle scienze prammatiche. Ma mentre oggi la giustificazione della filosofia data da Aristotele in base al “desiderio naturale di conoscere” appare insufficiente, la vita e gli scritti di Helen Keller ci offrono un nuovo fondamento per continuare nella tradizione aristotelica: il “desiderio naturale di comunicare”, che “solleva” il desiderio cognitivo senza scartarlo.
Parole Chiave: filosofia, scienze, Aristotele, Helen Keller, desiderio di comunicare, desiderio cognitivo
